<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Adopted by Mr. Duffy to help his wife--the town pie maker--Inga is thrilled to discover that they live in blacksmith shop, which is filled with the tools she can use to invent or fix things.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Inga is no ordinary 11-year-old girl and it isn't 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Another heartwarming story of innovation and perseverance. The quirkiness of your characters is so endearing... [This book] provides such a unique point-of-view that is much needed in literature. I love that the main character is a female and especially appreciate her entrepreneurial spirit." </p><p> --Jacie Maslyk, educator and author of STEAM Makers</p><br>
