(Odyssey, Aug. 16, 1997)
On a stormy day in Washington D.C. Lucy, Thomas, Emma, and Kevin visit the National Air and Space Museum. Lucy can't take her eyes off of a beautiful red plane - the Lockheed Bega that her hero, Amelia Earhart, flew across the Atlantic Ocean. She closes her eyes, imagining what it must have been like to be the first woman to attempt to fly around the world. Lucy opens her eyes just in time to find out that she is behind the instrument panel of an airplane, barreling down a primiate runway. She has become Amelia Earhart, and if she can't manage, she and the plane will wind up in the ocean waters ahead. It's a close call, but soon Lucy is in the air flying right into the danger and excitement of Amelia Earhart's last mysterious journey.
