<p>Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, January 1, 2011: <br> Handwritten notes, photos, maps and inquisitive sidebars (What did Earhart eat during flight? Tomato juice and chocolate) complete this impeccably researched, appealing package. A stunning look at an equally stunning lady. <br><br>Starred Review, The Horn Book Magazine, March/April 2011 <br> The book's structure and scope, along with the story's inherent drama, provide a taut, cinematic backdrop for the history of Earhart's doomed flight. <br><br>Starred Review, School Library Journal, March 2011: <br> Ho-hum history? Not in Fleming's apt hands. What could be a dry recitation of facts and dates is instead a gripping and suspenseful thriller...This book is splendid. Hand it to everyone. <br> <br>Starred Review, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, March 2011: <br> Fleming cleverly structures this biography to give the tale of tragedy a fresh and dreadful impact...As a result, this offers not only a provocative introduction to Earhart but also compelling glimpse of what it was like to watch her disappear from the world. <p>
