Girls: Smart, Adventurous, Funny, Brave, Curious Girls

This week, I'm sharing chapter books featuring girls and their stories.  Here's a few of my favorites . . . .

The Detective's Assistant by Kate Hannigan
In 1859, eleven-year-old Nell goes to live with her aunt, Kate Warne, the first female detective for Pinkerton's National Detective Agency. Nell helps her aunt solve cases, including a mystery surrounding Abraham Lincoln, and the mystery of what happened to Nell's own father.


Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren
