Good book for 4th grade research project!
I bought this to start my daughter off (4th grace) on a research paper she had to do for Amelia Earhart. Buying this allowed her to highlight and ‘markup’ the key points to give her experience in studying.She was able to color code highlighting as ‘facts’ and ‘interesting facts, not historically significant’ which gave her a dynamic paper and speech.The book was an easy read with plenty of facts, in a way that kept her attention. It had both the important and the trivial ‘interesting facts’ and contained everything she needed to be well versed on the life of Amelia Earhart. She read the complete book in the the time she devours her usual Wimpy kid diaries, so I think it is presented in a way that will keep kids interested.

Great Book
A great book about the life and accomplishments of Amelia Earhart for young readers. It focuses more on her life then her mysterious death. It also gives an insight as to what kind of world it was for women during the timeframe in which she lived and flew. My second grade granddaughter thought she was a great lady….and I agree!

Amelia Earhart

Great for the classroom
I used this book for students to study a person in history to write a report on. This was for a 4th grade classroom. Each student read the novel on their own and filled out a novel study that I created for non-fiction books. Students were able to follow the book with ease and understand what they were reading.There were several pictures to aid in understanding. There is also a timeline that helps students understand the timeline of events as they read. Very great resource.

Adventures of a Brave Woman.
Wow! This work is magnificent, I was delighted with the story about Amelia’s life. It fascinates me that a woman has made history in the area of ââaviation, a sector that many times, erroneously, is associated only with men. But, Amelia is a woman who has proven that when you want, you can and that gender is not a limitation, Amelia showed that a woman can be as good at aviation as a man can be. The book is missing something, and it is to inquire deeply about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, I would like it to be known one day what led to her disappearance.

Great for School Projects
My second grade son chose Amelia Earhart for his “person who made a difference” speech at school. The book that he checked out from his school library didn’t have a lot of details, so we purchased this one. It does a great job of explaining some background information without overwhelming an eight-year old. For example, there was a short paragraph about Charles Lindbergh so that a child would understand how new aviation was at the time Amelia flew over the Atlantic. My son not only had plenty of information for his speech, but he also is a big Amelia Earhart fan.

Perfect for biography reading lessons and report writing in 3rd/4th gr
I bought these for my third grade classroom. They are great for the biography genre and then to use for report writing. The three years I’ve used them so far the kids LOVED them. Easy for their reading levels, informative, and people they have heard of in their lives. They would read their own and then read other that they had heard of. Could have left these books out 1/2 year and they would have still been reading them.

Estou estudando inglês sozinha há 1 ano e meio, depois de ter estudado até o livro 6 do curso Brasas e acho que o nÃvel do meu inglês é pré-intermediário. Portanto, não tive muito dificuldade de entender este texto e Amelia Earthart foi uma mulher incrÃvel: ela aprendeu a pilotar aviões em uma época em que quase nenhuma mulher fazia isto e os aviões pequenos eram imensamente perigosos de serem pilotados.

I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter’s obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying at school. Really, really recommend this series!!!

I really like this series. I read it in my free time. I like the way of book explaining things. It is simple and understanding yet, detail from first until final chapter.
