Description
In 1889, daredevil reporter Nellie Bly announced her intention to circle the world in seventy-two days. Nobody thought a woman could do such a thing, but, accompanied by a monkey named McGinty she acquired in Singapore, she did just that. "Beautifully designed....Eye-catching, humorous period details abound....This volume will entice young children to learn more about this remarkable woman."--School Library Journal.
