Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart
by Candace Fleming

Summary: Biography of the famous female aviator Amelia Earhart including information about her mysterious disappearance.      

Thoughts:  Amelia Lost is told through alternating chapters focusing on Amelia Earhart's life and her disappearance.  Earhart led a fascinating life and there was a lot more to her story than I knew.  In many ways, she creatively worked to build her own celebrity.  The author effectively tells the myths as well as the accurate, well-researched details.  This is an engrossing biography that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.
