Amelia And Eleanor Go For A Ride

Pam Munoz Ryan, Brian Selznick

An inspiring true story of Amelia Earheart and Eleanor Roosevelt — and a thrilling night when they made history together! On a brisk and cloudless evening in April 1933, Amelia Earheart and Eleanor Roosevelt did the unprecedented: They stole away from a White House dinner, commandeered an Eastern Air Transport plane and took off on a glorious adventure — while still dressed in their glamorous evening gowns! This large-format lavishly produced picture book celebrates the courage and pioneering spirit of two friends who defied convention in the name of fulfillment, conviction, and fun. Breathtaking black and white drawings — which create the look of a vintage movie — make this a visual tour de force for young adventurers, historians and any one else who dares to dream.
