The Girl Who Raced the World Synopsis

A page-turning adventure, bringing Jules Verne's classic Around the World in Eighty Days to life for young readers with a thrilling new twist.

You must take every day, every hour, every minute one tick at a time.

It is 1872 and, when Maggie Appleton's beloved mother dies, she is left with nothing but a letter for a mysterious stranger called Passepartout. With nowhere else to turn, Maggie seeks out Passepartout and, in doing so, is drawn into an adventure beyond her wildest dreams. Together with Passepartout's employer, the enigmatic Mr Phileas Fogg, Maggie journeys to Italy, India, Hong Kong, Japan and America, in a daring race against time to win the wager Mr Fogg has accepted.

But with a bank robber on the loose, an angry Inspector on their tail and unread secrets in her mother's letter, Maggie soon discovers that there is much more at stake than keeping on schedule to win the bet. Who can she really trust - and will she ever find out where she truly belongs?

A timeless adventure of travel, treachery and trust, perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell and Emma Carroll.
