Summary: Around the World in 78 Days -- a review by Maddy, age 9
Comment: "Most people would probably panic if they had only three days to get ready for a trip around the world. So much packing to do! So many details to arrange!" Nellie Bly, a female reporter from The World Magazine in New York, sets off to beat Phileas Fogg's record of going around the world in eighty days, and aims for 78. She boards the Augusta Victoria with her one little bag, promising The World she will send back cables of her trip. She glides gently on the Augusta Victoria to London, not knowing she has competition. Will she make it?

Nellie Bly's thrilling adventure is both educational and fasinating. Nellie Bly has great ambition and is breathtaking to read about. She is different from other women. She is brave and fair, tough but understanding. She travels the world, picking up culture along the way, with only one bag. How does she do it? She was one of the only female reporters then, and is a very interesting choice to write about. This book is so enjoyable to read it is hard to put down. A definite thumbs up.
