Amelia: A Life of the Aviation Legend (Potomac's Paperback Classics)
YA?Unlike the majority of books on Earhart, this one focuses on her entire life, and not just her mysterious disappearance. The authors strongly emphasize that their subject was much more than another aviator trying to set new records. Beginning with her childhood, they analyze why Earhart became not only one of aviation's great pioneers, but also a champion of women's rights and a devoted member of her family. When the inevitable disappearance is covered, it is handled with an almost scientific methodology, looking at all of the currently held theories. The book flows smoothly and is accessible to YAs. A must-read for any teen interested in aviation.?John Kiefman, Fairfax County Public Library, VACopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
