Riassunto

Fascinated by history, young Imogene is heartbroken when she learns that the Liddleton Historical Society is about to be destroyed to make room for a factory and so dons her best patriotic costume, grabs her flag, and races through the streets like Paul Revere to get the word out that the pending tragedy must be stopped. Simultaneous.

Recensione

Starred Review, The Horn Book Magazine, November/December 2009: "With a light touch, complemented by Carpenter’s breezy illustrations, Fleming introduces rather than stresses these issues, making room for more thoughtful discussion but never requiring it"

Publishers Weekly, October 5, 2009: "Imogene’s passion and comedic perseverance inspire"

Kirkus Reviews, September 1, 2009: "Fleming peppers the text with famous quotes that add a layer of historical depth to the story"

Booklist, July 1, 2009: "Fleming’s sense of small-town space is impeccable; Carpenter’s pen-and-ink art enjoyably scribbly; and the historical facts and quotes that bookend the story are just the thing to get new Imogenes fired up."
