Yet with one small bag and a sturdy coat, Nellie set out anyway. Soon, the whole world was rooting for her . . . But could she make it back home in time? After you've read the story, don't miss the bonus content that emphasizes Common Core and today's renewed interest in nonfiction. Perfect for home, school, and library bookshelves!
