2022
In this real-life adventure, daredevil and groundbreaking journalists
Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland race against each other-and the
clock-as they circle the globe by ship, train, and foot. Join these two
stereotype-shattering reporters as they prove that not only is traveling
around the world possible, but that women are just as curious, capable,
and courageous as any man.
Nellie Bly was an energetic and eager reporter, but she wasn't able to
think of a good story for her editors. Wishing she was on the other end
of the earth, Nellie had an inspiration-she would travel around the
world, just like in the fictional adventure book Around the World in
Eighty Days. When a fellow journalist, Elizabeth Bisland, heard about
Nellie's plans, she decided to up the stakes-by beating Nellie in her
own race!
This exciting American history story about two pioneering women who
paved the way for equality will inspire young readers.
