Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 3-6-- An adequate biography of the famous aviator, marred by Kerby's odd evaluation of significant events in Earhart's early life and her dismissive description of Earhart's attitude towards marriage as ``strange.'' Full-page black-and-white drawings of unexceptional quality illustrate the text. Chadwick's Amelia Earhart (Lerner, 1987) covers the same material in a crisp, objective manner and includes photos and a map of Earhart's around-the-world flight. Lauber's Lost Star (Scholastic, 1988), for grades 5-8, is even better, as it is well written; thorough; and has an index, bibliography, photos, and maps. Brown's Amelia Earhart Takes Off (Whitman, 1985) is average but uninspiring. --Ann W. Moore, formerly at Lane Road Library, Columbus, OH

    What a Pioneer!

    Do I admire Amelia Earhart? Yes! How could it be different? She was so brave, spontaneous and straightforward. Amelia was one of those unique women who made a big difference. She set a new tone for women not only in aviation, but in many other activities. What today may be common was unusual at that time. Partly, thanks to Amelia women are more realistic seen and respeted today.This also implies admired...

    A Great Book

    I liked this book a lot. It was very inspiering. I liked how it went from when she was a kid to her dissapearence. The author achieved the purpose excelently and throughly. i recomend it to anyone who likes to be inspiered or believes in women's rights. Amelia Earhart is someone to really look up to; that's what this book taught me.
