Amelia Earhart

National Geographic Readers have been a hit in the competitive beginning reader category, and this book follows upon that success with the same careful text and brilliant photographs. Now the series is branching out into biography: This season we highlight two important figures in women's history: Amelia Earhart (Level 1), and Anne Frank (Level 3). Amelia Earhart is one of the first of many National Geographic Readers that highlight important historical figures. This Level 1 Reader brings an understanding of Amelia Earhart's historical significance to a whole new audience. Young readers will learn about the fascinating life and legacy of this pioneering pilot and adventurer, whose disappearance over the Pacific in 1937 has intrigued audiences for decades (Level 1).
