Very Thorough Biography

Lost Star is a brilliantly written biography. After reading this book I could remember every detail in Amelia Earhart's life. The only problem with this book is, like a lot of other biographies it isn't very exciting and not even once during the book could I not put the book down. But if you're interested in Amelia Earhart's life you have to read this.The book starts off talking about Amelia's childhood, about her fathers drinking problems. Then it talks about her training as a pilot and her different jobs she gets. It talks about each of her record braking flights, giving details like the names of her planes and even says details like what the weather was like when she was taking off. Finally it talks about her mysterious disappearance at sea and talks about the many theories about what happened to her. This was the first biography I read and since I enjoyed it so much, I probably will read many more

Lost Star

I thought it was a very interesting book that sometimes couldn't put down. It was written well and the thing I liked best was the part where the author explained her whole childhood, good and bad times. This book kept me busy, I highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent biography for children

I use this novel in my fourth grade classroom and it is a hit! It is finely written and easy to understand. I recommend it to any child who is interested in aviation, adventure, or just wants to read a story about a strong person like AE.

A good book for all ages........

It was interesting, yet provoking and informative, a good bedside and a good reseach book.
