Editorial Reviews

Review

"Howe presents vignettes that shed light on the character development of a woman who became one of the most famous pilots in history...Intermediate grade readers will enjoy this book...." -- Dr. Nancy Steffel, Assistant Professor in Teacher Education, University of Indianapolis

"Originally published in 1950, this top-notch biography has been revised and is the first title in the Young Patriots Series..." -- Atlanta Journal and Constitution

"The Young Patriots Series is meant to be an introduction to reading biographies..." -- Foreword Magazine, April, 1999

"Warm, delightful story portraying the simple life of a child of the times. Important addition to the area of books...about female heroes." -- Kay W. Terry, EdD., Coordinator of Basic Programs K-5, Western Kentucky University

"[A] top-notch biography." -- The Atlanta Journal & Constitution

This book would make a nice addition to the library of any elementary school-age child... -- Grand Prairie News, a subsidiary of the Dallas Morning News

Warm, delightful story portraying the simple life of a child of the times. Important addition to the area of books..." -- Kay W. Terry, EdD., Coordinator of Basic Programs K-5 and Comprehensive Graduate Exams, School of Integrated Studies in Teacher Education, Western Kentucky University.

What makes this chapter book especially appealing for the eight through twelve year-old group is that the author tells real stories, not fanciful ones, about Earhart's childhood....The stories are carefully selected to show Earhart's early interest in aviation, her courage and enjoyment of rough-and-tumble activities that had been restricted to boys. They are not only enjoyable to read, but give even adult readers insight into the life of the nation's most famous female pilot...The Young Patriots Series is meant to be an introduction to reading biographies. Earhart's story is an excellent introduction to the series. -- ForeWord, April, 1999


Product Description

Did you know that as a child, Amelia Earhart built a roller coaster on top of her grandmother's barn roof, narrowly missed hitting a horse and carriage while careening down an icy slope on her new sled and played football at a time when no well-mannered young lady did? All these adventures and more are featured in Volume 1 of the Young Patriots Series, Amelia Earhart, Young Air Pioneer.

Share with the young Amelia her fascination at seeing her first airplane, the curiosity and courage that sent her exploring in a dark, deserted cave, and her determination to learn to fly no matter what. Young readers ages 8-12 will thrill to Amelia's rescue of two neighbor boys from her angry dog and cheer as she escapes an angry deliveryman after releasing his horse from a painful neckrein. Her exhilaration at flying for the first time is contagious and will delight all that share the aviator's sense of adventure.

In the pages of "Amelia Earhart, Young Air Pioneer", kids will meet a young American heroine who showed the traits of bravery and grace under pressure at an early age. While children will identify with Amelia as a child just their age, parents and educators will appreciate the positive portrayal of the young Amelia Earhart as a precursor to the undaunted explorer she would become. Throughout the book, the recurring theme is an exceptional American's determination and desire to reach her goal.

Amelia Earhart, Young Air Pioneer, is the first in a series of fictional biographies of well-known American heroes and heroines published by Patria Press, Inc. Watch for Volume 2, William Henry Harrison, coming soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed reading this wonderful story about Amelia Earhart., September 26, 1999
By A Customer
Once I started reading this book, I had a hard time putting it down. I thought this was a super book and I can't wait to read more of the "Young Patriots Series." I highly recommend this book to kids my own age (10 years old).

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, July 11, 2001
A Kid's Review
Amelia Earhart is a very good book. I think every child ages 9 - 12 should read Amelia Earhart because it teaches them to do what you want to do. Amelia's dad was trying to stop her but Amelia said it was her dream to fly. Amelia always liked to see the airplanes take off to fly. I think Amelia Earhart is a very excellent book.
