Imogene Tripp is a young history buff who is fighting to save the museum in the Liddleville Historical Society. She uses her cleverness, wit, and knowledge of history to show the townspeople the importance of preserving history for future generations. Things are not looking good for Imogene and the Historical Society until a very special person joins her cause.
IMOGENE'S LAST STAND is a fun book that will inspire young readers learn more about history and to take a stand for what they believe. Nancy Carpenter's adorable illustrations capture Imogene's spunk and charismatic personality. The endpapers of the book contain short biographies of the historical figures Imogene quotes in her quest. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of Imogene in the future.
