Winged Legend: The Story of Amelia Earhart
Life of Earhart looks into some of the investigations, including the author's, into the fate of the pilot after her famous flight.
With Amelia Earhart: Flying Solo, Burke introduces young readers to Amelia Earhart, a true heroine for the ages. Beginning when Earhart is a girl, she was more interested in adventure than appearing 'proper’. Among other things, she tried to build a roller coaster as a child! Despite familial upheavals and personal trials, Earhart never gave up on her dreams, and would go on to become an aviator. During her life, she earned many accolades, setting records left and right. She was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Sadly, in an attempt to circumnavigate the world by plane, Earhart mysteriously disappeared. Burke's writing is clear and easy to undersand, supplemented with pictures, and extra tidbits of information. Earhart is a fascinating woman and a great role model for young girls.
