review 1: This picture book will be a good beginning to introducing Amelia Earhart to a group of young readers. One of America’s first woman pilots, and one of our tragic mysteries in aviation, After 80 plus years, she still fascinates with her achievements and her stories. This particular book tells about Amelia Earhart’s hair-raising experience when she made her first trans-Atlantic flight, the first woman to do so. Wendell Minor fills the pages with tension in his paintings of the particular events of the story. It’s a good non-fiction adventure book, a model for those interested in adventures. The end papers show the plane and the map of the route, from Newfoundland to Northern Ireland.
review 2: May 20, 1932 Amelia Earhart became the first woman to comple... morete a transatlantic flight from Newfoundland, Canada to a farm field in Ireland. The breath taking paintings by Wendell Minor truly make the emotions and story come to life. Before the Red Vega asscends into the sky the reader can sense a little fear from Earhart but the love of the thrill of first time things helps push doubt out of her mind. The first part of Earhart's flight goes smoothly, but around midnight a horrible storm erupts. The Vega struggles to not be engulfed into the roaring Atlantic Ocean. As the Vega nose dives towards the water it seems easy to expect death but Earhart uses her knowledge to survive. 14 hours and 56 minutes later Earhart completes the transatlantic flight alone. This bibliographic account is appropriate for 1st and 2nd graders less
