Grade 3-8 What is there to say about the sixth (at least) biography of Amelia Earhart to be published in the last couple of years? Her story is an exciting one for young readers, offering a strong female role model. Among the attractively designed, well-written alternatives, one can choose from the briefer Amelia Earhart: Aviation Pioneer (Lerner, 1987) by Roxane Chadwick on up to Carol Pearce's more detailed Amelia Earhart (Facts on File, 1988). Lauber writes clearly and interestingly, conveying her own interest in the subject, but her biography doesn't do anything that the others don't, and her bibliography is shorter than those in comparable books. Earhart's early life is covered succinctly, including the family problems that resulted from her father's alcoholism. Close to half of the book is concerned with the details of the last flight around the world and the mysterious disappearance, sure to hold the attention of readers. Small but very clear black-and-white photographs are included. Sylvia S. Marantz, Wellington School, Columbus, Ohio

| Randall Brink weighs in with his own theories about the mysterious fate of famed aviator Amelia Earhart, who flew into history on the morning of July 2, 1937. I found this to be a very interesting book, coupled with Mr. Brink's unearthing of supposed government documents provide some tantilizing clues as to what involvement Washington and the White House may have had in Earhart's global flight. There were some flaws, however. One photograph in the book depicts an aerial shot of what Mr. Brink claims was a Japanese airfield in the Marshall Islands. A magnified section of the photo shows a twin-engine airplane with what appears to be a missing wing. Mr. Brink postulates that this airplane could in fact be the Lockheed Electra, since (he contends) Japan did not manufacture twin-engined, twin-tailed monoplanes during World War II--a statement which is not accurate. Japan did in fact produce several planes of that type (typically bombers), and given Mr. Brink's avaiation background, I was surprised he didn't research that more thoroughly. No new revelations here, but food for thought as to what may have happened to one of America's aviation pioneers. |
