    I loved this book because it had many important quotes that I probably didn't know. Her protests were so mature and serious. It teaches you to get back on your feet when you fall. Another great book. *****

    Imogene's Last Stand was a good book, I thought it was funny. My favorite part was when she said "The bulldozers are coming! The bulldozers are coming!" ***

    This book was really humorus.The mayors name was I.M.Butz.The mayor was going to makea shoelace factory at Imogene's house.Imogene didn't want that because her house was Gorge Washington's house at one time.On the day the mayor was going todestroy the house the president came and shouted ''this house will be a national monument.''

    I loved how she stands up to fight a big company to save her house. So anyone can stand up for what they believe in even if you are a child.
