Brief summary:
What makes this book different from a regular biography is that it tells the story of Amelia Earhart's childhood adventures. How she built her own roller coaster and nearly got lost in a dark cave are just two incidents featured in this book which is written as a story with action and dialogue. Kids will love this book because it's fun to read--parents will like the educational slant and emphasis on the character traits of courage and persistence displayed by the young Amelia. Part of the Young Patriots Series.
