The true story of a courageous womans love of adventure and her famous journey that took her around the globe in record time.
Nellie Bly was a newspaper reporter for The New York World, but instead of writing about ladylike subjects like tea parties and charity balls, Nellie wrote about the social problems of her day, like poor job conditions, dilapidated housing, and dishonest politicians. If someone told her It cant be done, Nellie Bly, she went right ahead and did it anyway. But when Nellie read Jules Vernes novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, she was inspired to circle the globe even faster herself. Did the plucky young reporter go too far?
Young readers will cheer for Nellie as she embarks on her 22,000-mile trip equipped only with one sturdy travel dress, a small satchel, and a pet monkey she picks up in Singapore as her traveling companion. Traveling by ship, train, and foot, she has all kinds of incredible experiencesfrom surviving a monsoon at sea to visiting a leper colony in China.
This delightful true story of a woman with an indomitable spirit will inspire a new generation of young readersand adventurers. Back matter includes additional information about Nellie Blys life.
