Amelia Lost

Amelia Lost:  The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart
by Candace Fleming

The life of famed aviator Amelia Earhart, as well as her tragic disappearance during her final flight, is told in this excellent biography.   What is especially unique about this biography is how the author, Candace Fleming, alternates the chapters in a way so that the story goes back and forth between Amelia's life growing up and her adulthood.    Adding to the mystery and questions surrounding her disappearance are the stories of ordinary people who believed they heard Amelia's cries for help over their home radios.  Candace Fleming does a great job of sharing the story of one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.  

What a great book!  This exciting biography is a great choice for anyone interested in learning more about women in history.
