AmeriTales Presents Amelia Earhart and the Haunted Winds of Kansas is an engaging blend of history and fiction, sure to get young people excited about the legend of real-life aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. Cartoony illustrations enhance this adventure in which young Amelia is so fascinated by the roller coaster she sees at the World's Fair in Saint Louis that, with help from her friends, she elects to build a roller coaster in her backyard. Her grandmother forces her to tear it down, but not before she gets to experience a taste of the wild ride! Based on a true incident from Amelia Earhart's childhood (although the "Haunted Winds" are a fictional embellishment), Amelia Earhart and the Haunted Winds of Kansas is a most enjoyable tale, heightened by the clean, cartoon style illustration.
