Little Audrey #8

Little Audrey is convinced that fame and history await her, and she sets out on a series of wild schemes to become as legendary as Joan of Arc or Florence Nightingale—inventing a contraption to wake her father, concocting a mysterious new dish, and even attempting daring rescues. But each ambitious plan seems to backfire spectacularly, leaving chaos and frustrated grown-ups in her wake, and Audrey beginning to wonder if becoming famous might be harder than she thought.

Little Audrey refuses to wear her bulky petticoats and hoop skirts for a day of play, so her mother whisks her back to pioneer times to show her how girls dressed in the old days. When a frontier settlement comes under attack, Audrey discovers those layers of clothing might be more useful than she bargained for.

When Little Audrey joins her classmates on a butterfly hunt with a lollipop prize on the line, she's determined to prove that girls are just as capable as boys—especially after a know-it-all competitor dismisses her chances. What starts as a competitive scramble through the outdoors quickly spirals into comic chaos, complete with a mistaken bee and a meddling dog, but Audrey's day takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles onto something far more valuable than any butterfly.
