One May night in 1932, in Habour Grace, Newfoundland, a woman and her plane waited to take off. Amelia Earhart, the famous aviator, was attempting the second trans-Atlantic flight in history, and the first to be piloted by a woman. Over the next fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes, across two thousand and twenty-six miles, she flew through the night, braving storms, nose-dives, and a leaky exhaust pipe, to finally land in the beauty of the morning, in a field in Derry, Northern Ireland... The second picture-book I have read from author/illustrator team Robert Burleigh and Wendell Minor, following upon their Trapped! A Whale's Rescue , this lovely work documents an extraordinary moment in aviation history. The prose is simple but expressive, capturing the beauty and terror of Amelia's night flight, while the accompanying artwork, done in gouache and watercolor, is lovely. The rare material gives a list of further sources, and some quotations from Amelia Earhart. Recommended to young aviation buffs, and to anyone looking for picture-books about Amelia Earhart. Somehow I wasn't as impressed as I expected to be. Burleigh and Minor are talented, though, so read Krista's more laudatory review, then go check out a copy of the book for yourself: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/154842972?book_show_action=false&page=... sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
