When an eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg makes a daring wager that he can circle the globe in just eighty days, it’s the beginning of a breathlessly-paced world tour. With his devoted servant Passepartout at his side, Fogg sets off on an adventurous journey filled with amazing encounters and wild mishaps. Pursued all the way by the bumbling Detective Fix, who believes the two travelers are bank robbers on the run, Fogg and Passepartout must use every means of transportation known to 19th-century man - including a hot-air balloon, a locomotive, and an elephant - to win the bet.

Kyle Keeley is the class clown, popular with most kids, (if not the teachers), and an ardent fan of all games: board games, word games, and particularly video games. His hero, Luigi Lemoncello, the most notorious and creative game maker in the world, just so happens to be the genius behind the building of the new town library. Lucky Kyle wins a coveted spot to be one of the first 12 kids in the library for an overnight of fun, food, and lots and lots of games. But when morning comes, the doors remain locked.

Beautiful Story
Wonderful story about a girl that lives in India and tries helping her dad earn money. If you are learning about India it will teach you a whole lot. The best part is that it is saying a girl can be as good as a boy.

Wonderful, short story
Really appreciated that the narrator was Desi so that pronunciation was accurate. I also loved the glossary at the beginning as well as the info on microfinance at the end. The story did not go how we expected--but we still loved it.

A Good Reason About Another Culture
We had to read this book for a professional development and at 1st I was not excited about the idea but once it started and I heard the struggle of the character Naima I began to appreciate learning about her culture. This is a good read for middle school students who are working on understanding other cultures.
