An interesting new series focusing on famous historical figures. It was an easy, enjoyable read with great illustrations and sure to entertain children who are exploring easy chapter books.

I was given this book as an ARC copies from NetGalley. The download was very poorly formatted so it was difficult for me to follow the text. The message of the book and the story were very engaging and I am sure that with a print copy I would have enjoyed reading it. A very interactive set up with great graphics and side notes help students navigate through the story of Amelia's life. I loved the focus on her fight for women's rights. I give this book 3 stars due to the difficulty I had with the online version. I am sure that as a text it will be much more inviting. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to preview this book.

Sadly I did not enjoy this book, and neither did my eleven-year-old. While Amelia Earhart was an incredibly interesting person this book is filled with more irrelevant facts to the readers than is necessary. It was also difficult to read the copy I was given because it had what appeared to be picture captions mixed in with the text of the book, many times mid-sentence.

Very cute and great illustrations. I think it is very catchy and will hold the attention of young curious readers. Very much enjoyed it.

This book is the first in a new series. The story of Amelia Earhart is told in a combination of straight text and more cartoon like illustrations. Children who want to learn about living one's dream or who are interested in aviation or women's history, will enjoy this chapter book.

The story starts with young Amelia aka Millie's early years. She was not like the other girls that she knew; Amelia wanted to dress as she wished and to have adventures. At times, she did not fit in. Amelia was also plagued by issues in her family. While her father loved her, he had his own struggles with unemployment and alcohol. Nonetheless, he tried to help Amelia to do the things that she wanted.

Before taking to flying, Amelia witnessed the plight of WWI veterans and did nursing. She enrolled at Columbia University where she hoped to study medicine. However, when her family needed her, she returned to California. It was there that she took her first flight and, as we know, over time became a part of history. Amelia's accomplishments were great. The mystery of her last flight has still not been solved.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this interesting read in return for an honest opinion I now know more about this famous aviatrix than I did.

Thank you #netgalley for giving me a copy of #FirstNamesSeries Amelia Earhart to review. I have other Amelia Earhart books, both a chapter book and a picture book, and this one will fit right in. It fits right in the middle of the chapter book and the picture book. It has the chapters of an older non-fiction book, but also has the cartoonish pictures that some struggling readers still need. I think this is a good step up for those kids.

Very well written. Children will enjoy it. We always need fresh books for libraries. I enjoyed, and I am an adult. I think that the writing will reach and engage young readers.

I really enjoyed learning more about Amelia Earhart. This seems like it is going to be a great series. The stories were well written and were interesting. I would have liked to have seen all of the pictures (there were a couple). I think those will add to the text very well. It was a semi-quick read and would be a great resource for older children to learn more about someone from history.

I did have one problem with the text. In the part where it is talking about the airshow/race and it was over a few days. And on one of the days, a lady died because her parachute didn't open. I assume it will be a cartoon picture, but the caption says something about missing the chance to make history. If this is in reference to the lady dying, it should be removed. I'm not sure, because my copy didn't have all of the pictures, but the caption made it sound like it was making fun of this.
