​

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. Perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell and Emma Carroll.​​​​​

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. When she tries to deliver it, Maggie is caught up in an adventure beyond her wildest dreams – a gamble to race around the world in eighty days, something everyone says is impossible. Everyone, that is, except Passepartout's new employer, Mr Phileas Fogg, who has bet his entire fortune on the journey.

With a thief on the loose, a detective on their tail, and a letter full of unread secrets, it seems the odds are against them. Will Maggie solve more than one mystery, and find a place where she truly belongs, before time runs out?
