Parent's Choice Designation as "Outstanding"

"What makes this chapter book especially appealing for the eight through twelve-year-old group is that the author tells real stories, not fanciful ones, about Earhart's childhood. . . . The Young Patriots Series is meant to be an introduction to reading biographies. Earhart's story is an excellent introduction to the series. . . ." —Foreword Magazine
