Product Description
Before there was Hillary Clinton, there was Amelia Earhart breaking through barriers that limited women. In 1904, a time when girls were expected to act like proper little ladies, young Amelia shunned dolls and tea parties. To the shock and dismay of her grandmother, Amelia ran around in bloomers and did all the things boys did. Nothing could spoil the pleasure of this little girl who didn't know how to quit. In this action-adventure tale, Amelia battles prairie winds and her grandmother to finally experience the adventure she has been dreaming of, while proving to her male pals that girls can do anything boys can do. This story highlights Amelia's adventurous childhood to show how she started her improbable journey to become a famous aviator. Amelia s willful spirit and can-do attitude will inspire girls and boys alike to follow their dreams.

A most enjoyable tale, heightened by the clean, cartoon style illustration. July 11, 2008
AmeriTales Presents Amelia Earhart and the Haunted Winds of Kansas is an engaging blend of history and fiction, sure to get young people excited about the legend of real-life aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. Cartoony illustrations enhance this adventure in which young Amelia is so fascinated by the roller coaster she sees at the World's Fair in Saint Louis that, with help from her friends, she elects to build a roller coaster in her backyard. Her grandmother forces her to tear it down, but not before she gets to experience a taste of the wild ride! Based on a true incident from Amelia Earhart's childhood (although the "Haunted Winds" are a fictional embellishment), Amelia Earhart and the Haunted Winds of Kansas is a most enjoyable tale, heightened by the clean, cartoon style illustration.
