Nellie Bly, a New York reporter, decides she could travel around the world in seventy-five days (less than Jules Verne's book Around the World in Eighty Days). After she has sailed away, Elizabeth Bisland's publisher at the Cosmopolitan magazine commands her to race Nellie. Reluctantly, Elizabeth steps on a train, traveling west.
The illustrations constantly compare the progress each lady is making.
Who will win?
I like how Ms. Rose illuminates a little known historical figure, Elizabeth Bisland.
The illustrations are rich, colorful and expressive.
