# Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart - Hardcover

by **Candace Fleming** (Author)

From the acclaimed author of _The Great and Only Barnum_\--as well as _The Lincolns, Our Eleanor,_ and _Ben Franklin's Almanac_\--comes the thrilling story of America's most celebrated flyer, Amelia Earhart.

In alternating chapters, Fleming deftly moves readers back and forth between Amelia's life (from childhood up until her last flight) and the exhaustive search for her and her missing plane. With incredible photos, maps, and handwritten notes from Amelia herself--plus informative sidebars tackling everything from the history of flight to what Amelia liked to eat while flying (tomato soup)--this unique nonfiction title is tailor-made for middle graders.

_Amelia Lost_ received four starred reviews and Best Book of the Year accolades from _School Library Journal_, _Kirkus Reviews_, _Horn Book Magazine_, the _Washington Post_, and the _New York Times_.
