Learning Magazine

"Amelia Earhart, one of America’s best-known aviators, was destined for a life in engineering. Her most famous childhood creation was a roller coaster made of wooden boards greased with lard. She also kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings about successful women. This book demonstrates how childhood traits can lead to adult accomplishments." - Learning Magazine
