AMELIA EARHART

Sound effects and Elizabeth Cottle's enthusiastic narration bring Amelia Earhart's daring adventures to life--from her tomboyish childhood in Kansas to her worldwide fame as an aviatrix. Whether she is sledding down a snowy hill at top speed or flying above the clouds in a biplane, each episode vividly captures the thrilling excitement that Amelia thrived on. Cottle's voice reflects the informal, lighthearted tone of the narrative, and she gives Amelia an air of cool confidence. Listeners can hear Amelia's frustration at the limits placed on girls, her determination to succeed, and her awed wonder at flying. With such an immersive and absorbing audio production, listeners won't miss the illustrations in the printed edition. S.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2019]
