Young Amelia Earhart: A Dream to Fly by Sarah Alcott
NON-FICTION/BIOGRAPHY
This is a non-fiction biography about the life of Amelia Earhart, history’s most famous female pilot. The book outlines Amelia’s childhood to the end of her life and career including information about her interests, family, childhood, nursing career, flying career and great accomplishments and events from her life. The text presents numerous factual dates and names from a third person perspective, creating an accurate biography.
I would use this book in my classroom to connect language arts with social studies by offering the book as a student resource. This book would be helpful for a student completing a biographical project on Amelia Earhart. Keeping the book available in the classroom library would also appeal to students who are interested in flying, airplanes or historical women.
