[ 책 소개 ]
* 2000년, An ALA Notable Book
역사적인 실화를 바탕으로 한 환상적인 비행에 관한 이야기입니다. 미국의 퍼스트 레이디 엘레노어 루스벨트는 1933년 백악관의 저녁 만찬에 당시 가장 유명한 여류 비행사인 아멜리아 이어하트와 남편을 초대했습니다. 그날 밤에 어떤 일이 있었을까요?
다른 귀빈들과 저녁만찬을 즐기던 아멜리아는 엘레노어에게 볼티모어까지 야간 비행을 해보자고 합니다. 그래서 둘은 이륜 비행기를 타고 백악관을 출발합니다. 비행기의 라이트를 모두 끄고 밤하늘을 날아 마침내 착륙한 그들을 기다리고 있던 것은 수많은 취재진이었습니다.
스릴있는 비행에 대한 소감을 묻는 질문에 만족스러운 대답을 마친 아멜리아와 엘레노어는 몰래 둘만의 모험을 계속 하기로 합니다. 엘레노어와 루스벨트는 오픈카를 타고 깜깜한 도로를 달려 백악관으로 향합니다...
엘레노어 루스벨트는 미합중국 제32대 프랭클린 루스벨트 대통령의 영부인으로 저술가와 사회운동가로서 용기있고 도전적으로 활동했습니다. 또한 아멜리아 이어하트는 1928년 여성 최초로 대서양 횡단에 성공해 세간의 이목을 집중시켰으나, 1937년 세계일주 비행 도중 실종되었으며 현재까지도 항공 역사상 미스테리로 남아있습니다.
당대 두 여걸이었던 엘레노어 루스벨트와 아멜리아 이어허트의 역사적인 만남에 작가의 상상을 덧붙여서 독자들에게 커다란 흥미를 불러일으키는 아름다운 그림책입니다.

From the Publisher
While still dressed in evening gowns, Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt go on a night flight above Washington, D.C. on April 1933. Extensively researched, the story contains actual dialogue and facts of the account. Breathtaking illustrations tell the trip of these two American heroines as it might have been.
Publisher's Weekly
In this sparkling picture book based on a true incident, Ryan (Riding Freedom, with Selznick) proves that Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt truly were "birds of a feather." Friends in real life, America's First Lady invited the "First Lady of the Air" to dinner at the White House in 1933. Eleanor, inspired by Amelia's descriptions of Washington viewed from her plane at night, accepts the pilot's offer of an after-dinner flight over the capital. Before dessert can be served, and over the protests of the Secret Service agents, the two are off to the airport and up in the sky, thrilling to the brilliance of the city below. Hewing closely to documented accounts, Ryan's inviting text adds drama and draws parallels between the two protagonists with fictional touches: she places them alone together in the plane (an author's note explains that in fact they were accompanied by two male pilots) and adds a final scene in which Eleanor takes Amelia for a zippy ride around the city in her brand-new car. Selznick's illustrations, black-and-white graphite accented with touches of purple pencil, both capture the vibrancy of his subjects and evoke the feel of a more glamorous era. A brief but compelling slice from the lives of two determined, outspoken and passionate women. Ages 5-9.
Children's Literature
Climb aboard for a delightful spin with two unconventional ladies in Amelia and Eleanor Go for a Ride, which is based on a true story. The First Lady was enamored with flying; she had taken some lessons. When her friend Amelia Earhart was in DC on a tour, Eleanor invited her and her husband for dinner at the White House. Before dessert was served, Amelia suggested a plane ride to see the Capitol at night. The Secret Service agents were aghast, but the two determined women could not be stopped. What a ride it was! The pencil drawings are bursting with life in this energetic charming anecdote of two famous ladies. - Jan Lieberman
School Library Journal
Ryan imaginatively expands on a true historical event in this intriguing picture book. While dining at the White House in 1933, Amelia Earhart convinces Eleanor Roosevelt to join her on a night flight to Baltimore. The two women marvel at the sights and the excitement from the air. After landing, they sneak away for one more adventure, as this time, the First Lady treats her friend to a fast ride in her new car. The fictionalized tale is lively and compelling, and the courage and sense of adventure that these individuals shared will be evident even to children who know nothing about their lives. Without belaboring the message, the author clearly conveys how the "feeling of independence" that both women treasured was a crucial part of their personalities. Selznick's larger-than-life pencil drawings add considerably to the spirit of the tale. He captures the glorious beauty of the night flight and the beauty of the city below. Varied perspectives and background details consistently draw readers' eyes. An author's note clearly defines which elements of the story are factual. The women were actually accompanied by two male pilots, but the author decided that it made it "much more exciting" to imagine that they were alone. "Almost all" of the dialogue comes from historical accounts. The title stands well on its own, but will also work as an excellent inspiration for further reading about the lives of Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart. Steven Engelfried, Deschutes County Library, Bend, OR
Kirkus Reviews
Ryan and Selznick skillfully blend fact and fiction for a rip-roaring tale of an utterly credible adventure. On April 20, 1933, Amelia Earhart had dinner at the White House with her friend, Eleanor Roosevelt. Amelia's description of flying at night so entranced Eleanor that the two of them, still in their evening clothes, flew in a Curtis Condor twin-motor airplane and were back in time for dessert. Eleanor herself had studied for a pilot's license, but had to be content driving instead. Selznick has created marvelous graphite pictures, with slight washes of color, for scenes based on accounts and descriptions of the evening, right down to the china on the White House table. Using a slightly exaggerated style and a superb sense of line and pattern, he plays with varying perspectives, close-ups, and panoramas to create a vivid visual energy that nicely complements the text. There is sheer delight in the friends' shared enjoyment of everything from a formal dinner and fine gloves to the skies they navigated. A final historical photograph shows the two on the plane that night. (Picture book. 5-10) |
