Nellie Bly's Book: Around the World in 72 Days

127 pp. | Lerner/Twenty-first Century | December, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-7613-0971-3 $$26.90
(4) 4-6 In this abridged version of Bly's 1890 bestseller, Peck cuts narrative that strays from his focus: Bly's attempt to break Phileas Fogg's fictional around-the-world record. Editorial notes clarify period references, and obscure words are defined in the margins. Still, Bly's chatty nineteenth-century style may turn contemporary young readers off of her worthy account.
