Around the World in 80 Days (Grades 7-12)
Adapted by: Margaret Ann Webber
Illustrated by: Antonio Nilo
This story chronicles the adventures of an Englishman, Phileas Fogg, who takes on a seemingly impossible wager: traveling around the world in 80 days. The year is 1872, and Fogg, along with his helpful and loyal sidekick, Passepartout, uses every form of transportation imaginable to aid in his quest. As he races around the world, he's pursued relentlessly by a determined private detective who somehow manages to track his every move. Join Fogg as he visits Egypt, India, Hong Kong, the American West, and many other colorful locations by way of railroad, carriage, steamer, pilot-boat, and other even more unusual conveyances.
