In this interview with Amanda Harrison we talk about her memoir, Solo2Darwin: In the Footsteps of Amy Johnson, in which she recounts her attempt to fly solo from England to Australia in her vintage open cockpit Tiger Moth. We also talk about the other themes shared in her book about grieving the loss of her father, her breast cancer journey, and the experience of navigating life with dyslexia.
I mention Elizabeth Wein's historical fiction novels written for dyslexic and reluctant readers ages 13+ - The titles are: The Last Hawk, White Eagle, and Firebird.
