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

I'm not too familiar with juvenile biographies, but this seemed like it might be both interesting and informative for younger readers. There are two intertwined story lines, starting with Amelia's disappearance, which is then replaced by a more fleshed out biography of Amelia's earlier years, using anecdotes to show her love of flying, her personal life, marriage of convenience, and quest for celebrity.

This book won the WPL best book for kids vote in 2011, though I would have voted for Dead End in Norvelt.
