Customer Reviews

Excellent
My 7 year old son could not put this book down! He read the entire book in one afternoon, and then was able to complete his biography project for school without any additional research. The book brought Amelia Earhart to life; it was comprehensive and interesting, with so many insights that I had never known before. There were also numerous sketches and maps which would keep a youngster engaged throughout the book. This book gets a resounding "WOW!" from us.

Entertaining, educational and well written - no illustrations
I had a series of these books as a kid that were so well illustrated - that's what I was hoping this was - I was disappointed - no illustrations - but otherwise my 11 year old daughter and I enjoyed finding out about some famous people in history - you can easily get through a book in a night with an older child - or spread it out over a week and it makes Ameilia Earhart a human that you can really imagine.

My daughter found it interesting.
I read the book with my 8 year old Chinese-American daughter and she loved it. She learned about Amelia, about American history, and about airplanes. Her English vocabulary expanded too.
