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 Biography tells the story of Amelia Earhart and her miraculous journey across the Atlantic as the first woman to fly solo

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.”

This biography tells the story of Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. It covers her adventurous spirit, love of aviation, and her mysterious disappearance while attempting to fly around the world.

“She set her airplane down in a cow pasture, 'frightening all the cows.“

This is a great book to use in a classroom for biography reports or school research papers. I would use this when teaching about history and Amelia's accomplishments toward aviation.

This is a very educational and engaging book! Children will love the funny illustrations. It's a great book to get important and quick facts about Amelia's life. Overall easy read for young children.

I wouldn‘t use this in my class because I could barely finish it myself

Couldn‘t keep my attention. Wasn‘t interesting enough for me
