I like the story of Amelia Earhart. This book has some interesting stories from Amelia’s life. It is little older, but it does have some pictures of Amelia that are interesting. This is a good and interesting story because of Amelia, not necessarily because of the author inventiveness. I enjoy reading about Amelia Earhart, but this book could use a little updating.
I would use this story in a unit about occupations. Amelia Earhart pushed the envelope and did something no other women had ever done, simply because she had a passion. She refused to stop following her dreams because of others opinions. You could also use this story to discuss women in history or aviation history.

loved adventure and wanted to see stories written about adventurous women, not just adventurous men. The first time she saw an airplane, Amelia was unimpressed. However, after Amelia’s first ride on an airplane she was addicted! She loved the freedom flying presented. She learned to fly quickly and she flew very well. The book ends by discussing various theories of Amelia’s disappearance including one that said she was a spy. Of course, we still cannot be certain of the exact reason of her disappearance, but that just makes the story even more interesting.I like the story of Amelia Earhart.
