''My invention is ready!' exclaimed Nell. 'I need to show it to the people in the Big City, and Uncle said he could take me there tomorrow.' 'It won't work,' scoffed Little Brother, with his mouth full of fish.
'Little Nell has worked hard to make an invention that will help clean up the pollution in the Big City. But she soon discovers that it can be hard for a girl to get the attention of the people in charge. A wonderful picture book about a little girl with a determined spirit who just needs a bit of help to make the world a better place for everyone.'
