Inga's Amazing Ideas

By Ann Rubino

Book Overview

Inga is no ordinary 11-year-old girl and it's not just her crown

of white blond hair that makes her different. Standing with

the orphan children she stares ahead with a grim expression,

waiting to be chosen for a mother's helper. In 1888, girls are

expected to cook, sew, clean and scrub the laundry but Inga

has other ideas. She'd rather solve problems than clean;

improve machines than cook. But then she's adopted by Mr.

Duffy to help his wife, the town pie maker.

Lugging her carpet bag she trudges behind her new parents

who, to her surprise, live in a blacksmith shop... filled with

tools! Oh the things she could make! If only she didn't have to

spend so much time peeling apples... or does she?

Inga engineers her way through Floyd County Iowa as the

Swedish girl who can fix things. But does she go too far?

From the author of Emmet's Storm, winner of Best STEM

Book, comes the second book in the Floyd County Chronicles,

Inga's Amazing Ideas.
