Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart by Candace Fleming
5.0
The suspense builds as the story alternates between telling the story of Earhart’s life and her disappearance over the Pacific Ocean. Find out how Earhart became a pilot, how she cultivated her public image, and how radio operators around the world tried to track her down after her plane went missing in this page-turner of a biography.
The format is key for the suspence, but the photographs help create a sense of familiarity and intimacy with this legend. Seeing her flaws and fibs brought to light helps the reader to see her as a real person, and Fleming's text is perfectly suited to the story and her audience.
