Amelia Earhart: Young Air Pioneer

By Jane Moore Howe, Harold Underdown (Editor)

Publisher: Patria Press, Incorporated, April 1999

ISBN: 1882859022

MY HERO recommends this book to children readers.

Synopsis
Did you know that Amelia Earhart built a roller coaster, rescued neighbors from an angry dog, narrowly averted a high-speed sledding disaster -- and all before she graduated from eighth grade? Get the details on these and other childhood adventures of the famous aviator in this new "story-ography" for young readers ages 8-12. Originally published in 1950, now re-designed with new illustrations and cover, this first volume of the Young Patriots Series brings the young Amelia to life as children discover that this great American heroine of aviation was a kid too! Period illustrations capture the action -- including Amelia in her first pair of bloomers!
