Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart by Candace FlemingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Candace Fleming is visiting my county later this week, so I wanted to read more of her books before I heard her speak. Amelia Lost is a great example of how an informational text can build suspense. Children who may not have heard much about Amelia would wonder--was she rescued? if not, was her plane found?
I appreciated the side bars, and how she cultivated her image. She knew how to be a celebrity, all while making sure she got what she wanted during a time when not many females did!
Quick easy read for older teens and adults, but that doesn't mean that this isn't for all ages. Great read!
