(1) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. In this energetic--and funny--girl-power story, young history buff Imogene Tripp saves the town's Historical Society building. Her act goes unnoticed until Mayor Butz decides to replace the structure with a shoelace factory. Quoting historical figures, Imogene begins her save-the-museum campaign. With a light touch, complemented by Carpenter's breezy illustrations, Fleming raises many issues, making room for a thoughtful discussion of history.
