Nonfiction - published in 2011. Candace Fleming‘s exploration of the infamous Amelia Earhart — her extraordinary accomplishments, doomed final flight, and modern legacy — proves to readers that history can be as thrilling as fantasy, as suspenseful as mystery, and as interesting as the best of fiction.

This book was published in 2011, it is also a biography. This book shows the amazing life of Amelia Earhart, but also struggles that she had to face through her life as well. The story tells why she cut her hair, and explains some of the records she broke.
I enjoyed this book, and the ways the book was written and explained. The different types of terminology throughout the book are great ways for readers to learn more about flying.

Using a portion of her mother's inheritance, 19 year old Amelia headed off to Rydal, Pennsylvania, where she attended the Ogontz school.

This book is quite long, but I believe it would be good for a middle school classroom. The pictures and items in the book are very fascinating.

With stunning photographs and primary sources, this book makes the disappearance of Amelia Earhart feel as real as it did back in 1937. I found it very interesting that Amelia's radio waves were heard way in Florida when she crashed in the Pacific Ocean. This book is very driven and tells an amazing story.

I love how the book does not just simply talk about how she got lost but focuses on how amazing she was and how much of a role model she was

“I am sure Amelia's las words were 'I have no regrets.'“

This book was more of a chapter books, so there weren't as many illustrations. However, I liked how the author decided to include newspaper articles, maps, and original images of Amelia. This gives children an extra sense that this is a true story.

I enjoyed this story about Amelia Earhart! She is such an inspiring person, and made such an impact in society so many years ago. I would definitely read this to my class when talking about the history at this time.
