"This is based upon an actual incident (the afterword explains where the author took a few liberties with history) where Amelia Earhart took Eleanor Roosevelt (apparently they were friends...?) up in a plane at night.
I love the black-and-white illustrations, and the descriptions of how different their formalwear was from the clothes they wore when defying gender boundaries, one by flying and the other by driving in a car. Bit wordy, but not overly so."
"This is a fictional story about two famous historical figures, Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt. The story is about the two women who meet up one night to have dinner. They decide to take a plane ride around Baltimore, despite what others think. Their independent outlook on life is what brings them together to help others see that the unthinkable can be done. Each women is independent in her own way and it is emphasized several times throughout the book. The book also gives a historical perspective on each woman and what they did for out country.
What a wonderful story to help promote gender equality in children! I think this book would be best suitable for grades 2-5. I like how it gives the historical facts of each person while still having a high interest storyline. It is a great way to bring history into the early elementary grades. The illustrations were amazing and very appealing to the eye. They were all done in black in white but had wonderful detail. I think the black and white pictures help set the tone for the old fashioned time period"
"This is one of my favorite picture books to share with middle readers. I love to use it as an example of historical fiction and also to show an author's note and how the information in author's notes can be used to further understanding of the books content. Love the illustrations, as I do most things that Brian Selznick does. Great story about a couple of great historical figures."
"This is an inspiring story for girls everywhere. Although some of the story was fictionalized, Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt really did meet and correspond with one another. On April 20, 1933, Ms. Earhart and her husband really did sit down to dine with the amazing new First Lady. Though the language might seem a bit stinted, the simple text structure makes this subject-matter approachable and inviting to younger students. The gorgeous, graphite and colored pencil drawings capture the vivacity of these women and the simple beauty of the era in which they lived. The illustrations enhance the text, giving it greater depth than the words themselves bring forth. After the book is shared in class as a read-aloud, even students who cannot fully read will want to pour over the story, reliving it through the beautifully detailed pictures."
