Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean by Sarah Stewart Taylor
3.0
This is an interesting perspective on Amelia Earharts crossing of the atlantic. She comes to the town of Trepassey, Newfoundland to refuel before going across the Atlantic. It's the last place of land before she went. The town is very curious about Amelia and the other pilots trying to make it across the ocean.
A girl writes for the local paper and she admires Amelia. Eventually she gets a little interview and writes up a piece. Amelia is ground for a few weeks. Her co-pilot is drunk, or the plane can't get out of the water, or the weather is bad. People begin to think she will not make it.
It's not the most detailed story of Amelia, but it is part of that historical trip and a little tiny glimpse into the woman who made history. Anyone interested in history from a unique perspective from middle grade readers up might enjoy this. The art is simple enough to tell a story. I find these historical graphic novels interesting. This is a quick read.
