History, mystery and murder accompany Nellie Bly as she travels around the world in tales of adventure. Author Carol McCleary cleverly takes elements from the life of Nellie Bly and uses them as the basis for a series of novels. Paired with historical figures such as Jules Verne, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle and H.G. Wells, Nellie investigates the secrets behind English moors, Aztec pyramids, magicians in the Orient and a killer loose on the streets of Paris.
