Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart by Candace Fleming
4.0
Amelia Earhart disappeared near the end of her around-the-world flight. But how did she get to where she was? And why didn't she make it all the way? Her origins and early record-breaking feats are interspersed with the drama of the last search for her, with no answers about what might have happened.
It's a little awkward to read this now, with all its questions of "what happened?"--when it's only a few months since some evidence has come out. (For the curious.) Unfortunately, this takes away some of the drama; as I read all references to the search I want to reach into the pages and say "THIS IS WHERE SHE IS GO LOOK HARDER." Still, if I'd read this a year ago like I'd meant to, it would have been a fascinating mystery.
