SuitabookSearch for Amelia Earhart
Rebecca Price Janney
- Reading
- Pause after the disappearance to ask what explanations seem possible, then revisit the ending together. Invite your child to distinguish historical facts about Earhart from the story’s imagined events.
- Themes
- Historical adventure and invention: The Dreamers travel to 1937, meet Earhart and investigate her disappearance around her attempted flight. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Danger, courage and faith: The children undertake a daring probe after Earhart disappears, while the flight is described as more dangerous than expected. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The central disappearance and the possibility that characters could perish may create suspense. Consider whether your child enjoys peril and unresolved historical mysteries, especially when danger is framed as part of an adventure.
