The Girls Who Changed the World #3: Ming and Hilde Lead a Revolution

Synopsis

Recommended for ages 8+.

The third book in the best-selling Jackie French historical series that places girls centre stage.

Ming Qong is convinced that girls have changed history throughout the world.

She's faced danger and adventure when Herstory sent her to the past to witness girls' bravery in the incredible feats left out of 'histories'. Now Ming asks Herstory for another time-travelling quest – this time, one that is less confronting.

Ming finds herself in relative luxury, heading to an unknown destination on a ship carrying royal Saxon sheep, travelling with the girls who care for them.

What do female shepherds have to do with history? And is it even possible for sheep to be royal?

As Ming knows only too well, change is never easy, so how can one girl – and a sheep – change the world?

From one of Australia's favourite authors comes an inspiring series for all the young people who will, one day, change the world.

                  Sparkling visuals and smooth digital experiences—those are just a few of the expectations when setting up a modern video wall. Whether it’s in a retail environment, conference hall, or broadcast studio, the performance behind the scenes is just as critical as the display itself.

                  A thoughtful look at girls who shape history, with adventure and meaning woven together in a way that works well for younger readers. The idea that change can come through everyday courage is especially compelling, and the historical setting adds real depth.
