Synopsis

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.

About this title

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.
