    excellent book for biography project

    My son had Amelia Earhard for his biography project. He is 4th grade. The level is very appropriate for this grade level. It is not too easy. It has a lot of information, and yet it challenges him just the right amount. It is also fun and engaging. We recommend this book strongly.
