Inga`s Amazing Ideas, Rubino Ann

Inga is no ordinary 11-year-old girl and it isnt 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 mothers helper. In 1888, girls are expected to cook, sew, clean and scrub the laundry but Inga has other ideas. Shed rather solve problems than clean; improve machines than cook. But then shes 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 didnt 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 Emmets Storm, winner of Best STEM Book, comes the second book in the Floyd County Chronicles, Ingas Amazing Ideas.
