Amelia Earhart: Young Air Pioneer - Softcover
These true-life tales of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, based on the remembrances of her sister Pidge, will inspire and thrill young readers. Kids will cheer as Amelia rescues two neighbor boys from an angry dog and when she builds her own ''rolly coaster' off the roof of her grandparents shed. Amelia's fascination at seeing her first airplane, as well as her curiosity, courage, and determination to learn, will make this portrayal of an American heroine a favorite of both children and adults.

From the Publisher:
"The Young Patriots Series" books are not biographies per se, but rather introductions to biography," explains the publisher. "We call the books 'storyographies' because each is primarily the story of episodes from the individual's childhood. Every incident mentioned in the book is true to the character and time of the subject." Educators and media specialists will find "Amelia Earhart" perfect for supplemental classroom/library reading, as there is a section containing important dates in the aviator's life as well as a section entitled "The Mystery of Amelia Earhart" in which her last flight is briefly discussed.
From the Back Cover:
(excerpt from book) Amelia leaned back and looked with satisfaction on their work. "That," said Pidge, "is the very best rolly car I ever saw." "I'll try it out," Amelia said. "I'd best go first, I'm a boy," Jared said. "Pooh! I'm not afraid. Being a boy doesn't make any difference." (end of excerpt-back cover copy continues as follows)
