(2) YA Bly, determined to make her journalistic mark, accepts an assignment to go undercover inside the "lunatic asylum" on Blackwell's Island and report on its conditions. Noyes smartly uses this hook to engage readers, enriching this and Bly's other experiences (such as her around-the-world race) with well-placed sidebars and clips from Bly's articles. Part chronological, part expository, the strong biography allows readers to become investigators. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
