Reviews
"Intrepid journalist Nellie Bly comes to life in this graphic biography that focuses on her famous effort to travel around the world faster than Jules Verne's fictional adventurer, Phileas Fogg. The format perfectly suits the fast pace of Bly's endeavor as it shows the young woman aboard ships and trains and dashing off to telegraph offices to report her progress to the New York World newspaper. Text boxes supply most of the book's information (along with an appended ""More about Nellie Bly"" list), while speech-bubble dialogue conveys Bly's spirited determination and general attitudes about women at the time; direct quotes appear in bold, italicized text drawn from Bly's Around the World in Seventy-Two Days. This will hook history buffs and fiction readers alike. Part of the Great Moments in History series (4 titles).--Julia Smith ""Booklist"""
