Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart by Candace Fleming

4.0

Fleming did a terrific job creating tension & suspense in her book by setting 1 chapter about the days when Amelia Earhart was missing against Earhart's biography. Great choice of info to share, wonderful photos, anecdotes from her life, and nothing sugar-coated about Earhart's quest for fame & how she became an icon. The book is not just about Amelia Earhart but also presents an intriguing picture of the US at the time (1930s) and of women & their power. The production quality of the book is very high--typeface is art deco style, so very clearly chosen to give readers a feel for that time, plus the look of the pictures, sidebars, etc. very well done. Excellent book, highly readable.
