After reading about Amelia Earhart in her friend's scrapbook, twelve-year-old Ginny Ross decides to become a pilot. But how will Ginny's dream take flight when her mother--not to mention society in general--so fiercely believes a woman's place is in the home?

A STEM-friendly novel about a girl who just wants to learn to fly. Stubborn to a fault, Ginny Ross is enrolled at Purdue University to earn her pilot's license and help her friend and mentor, Amelia Earhart, recruit more young women into aviation and engineering. But when Amelia goes missing in 1937, Ginny must learn to carry on alone.

The third and final installment in the Ginny Ross YA series, following the Red Cedar - nominated Amelia and Me and Geoffrey Bilson finalist Under Amelia's Wing. War is raging in Europe, and Ginny Ross longs to join the fight against Hitler. She's a capable pilot thanks to her training with Amelia Earhart, but she's not allowed to use her skills in the US Air Force, which only allows men to fly. When a new service is created to fly bombers from Newfoundland over to the UK to help the fight, Ginny realizes how she can help. She cuts her hair, changes her name, and heads to Canada as Jimmy Ross. In disguise, Ginny -- Jimmy -- takes part in the risky, top-secret, and vitally important mission to bring more air power to the allied forces, determined to do her part and ready to face down any danger, from engine failure to devastating Blitz bombing. But she never anticipated that another great danger lurks much closer....in the secret she's keeping from the men around her. Based on the true history of the heroic Ferry Command, Beyond Amelia is an exciting, suspenseful story about the sacrifices so many young people made to turn the tide in a terrifying war.
