Imogene Tripp is a true history buff. So she is thrilled when she discovers Liddleville's Historical Society housed in an old house. She and her father clean up the place and invite the towns people to visit, but no one seems to be interested. Then Imogene gets a notice that the Historical Society is scheduled to be torn down to make room for a shoelace factory. Imogene cannot allow this to happen and makes her stand. Who says a little girl can't make a difference? With great illustrations by Nancy Carpenter and smatterings of historical quotes, Candace Fleming's story is sure to be a hit. (grades 2-5)
