Inhaltsangabe

In London, 1872, a man named Phileas Fogg makes a bet with his friends that he can travel across the entire planet in eighty days. The wager? More than half his sizable fortune -- and the exact same amount of money that was stolen from a nearby bank a day earlier. Fogg hastily departs in the company of Passepartout, his personal attendant, on a journey that will take the two men all over the wide world by way of every known means of transportation. Little does Fogg know that a sly detective trails his every globetrotting step . . . These full-color graphic novels feature enhanced Common Core State Standards support, including discussion and writing prompts developed by a Common Core expert, an expanded introduction, and bolded glossary words. They're sure to hook even the most reluctant of readers.

Críticas

Not a minute is wasted in this new, family friendly adaptation of Jules Verne's 1873 classic. Laura Eason's brisk script runs with the same clockwork precision that Phileas Fogg times his globe-trotting adventures to win his famous wager... Bursting with imagination, this exuberant whistle-stop tour through Verne is a lot of fun and a trip worth making. --The Stage

Fun and imaginative... This spin on Jules Verne's classic hot air balloon romp is an eccentric treat. --Time Out

A fun-filled comedy caper... All the components - ingenuity, enthusiasm and a cracking good story - are present to make it a rollicking success. --reviewshub
