I love discovering a new, real hero in a well-written biography. Nellie Bly lived an amazing life, writing exposes on social injustice for newspapers, traveling the world in less than 80 days back before flying was an option, supporting herself with her writing as an unmarried woman before women even had the right to vote. The one thing missing - more samples of Nellie's own writing.

Fascinating introduction to Nellie Bly's work, independence, and spirit. The pictures work well and the format well constructed. National Graphic has published a number of excellent books for a tween audience.
