5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, March 20, 2003
By "tkain" (Staten Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews
My 7 year old son could not put this book down! He read the entire book in one afternoon, and then was able to complete his biography project for school without any additional research. The book brought Amelia Earhart to life; it was comprehensive and interesting, with so many insights that I had never known before. There were also numerous sketches and maps which would keep a youngster engaged throughout the book. This book gets a resounding "WOW!" from us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, educational and well written - no illustrations, July 13, 2009
By Lolagranola "lolagranola91" (Rural Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
  
I had a series of these books as a kid that were so well illustrated - that's what I was hoping this was - I was disappointed - no illustrations - but otherwise my 11 year old daughter and I enjoyed finding out about some famous people in history - you can easily get through a book in a night with an older child - or spread it out over a week and it makes Ameilia Earhart a human that you can really imagine.
