Beschreibung

In "Around the World in Eighty Days: Junior Deluxe Edition," Jules Verne crafts an adventurous narrative that intertwines excitement with the spirit of exploration characteristic of the late 19th century. The story follows Phileas Fogg, an eccentric yet meticulous Englishman who wagers a fortune on the improbable task of circumnavigating the globe within eighty days. Verne'Äôs use of first-person narration, along with richly detailed descriptions and witty dialogue, lends a dynamic rhythm to the plot, while the socio-political context of the Victorian era underscores the era's fascination with science, technology, and globalization, making this work both an adventure and a commentary on the increasing interconnectedness of the world. Jules Verne, often referred to as the father of science fiction, was profoundly influenced by the technological advancements of his time, including the advent of steam travel and global communication. His passion for exploration and innovation is vividly reflected in Fogg's journey, showcasing Verne'Äôs belief in human ingenuity. Born in Nantes, France, Verne's early exposure to sea travel and literature inspired his imaginative perspectives, leading to a prolific career that challenged the boundaries of narrative and scientific possibilities. This Junior Deluxe Edition is an excellent introduction to Verne'Äôs literary prowess, presenting the tale in an accessible format for younger readers while retaining the charm of the original text. Perfect for fans of adventure and exploration, this edition not only entertains but also encourages readers to dream beyond the horizon, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    is the only way to succeed. But Karthik is having fun being Lenny. Besides, what if acting is Karthik’s special talent? And what if acting is the only way to catch Juhi’s attention?

    Betty and her Wobbly Rock pals are are off to celebrate the famous Turnip Festival in the kingdom of Upper Crust. Betty is still as tiddly as a piece of toast. What could possibly go wrong THIS time? 
    For readers of You’re A Bad Man, Mr Gum and Grimwood! 
    The VIPs of Wobbly Rock can’t wait to attend Queen McNiff’s legendary Turnip Festival in the neighbouring kingdom of Upper Crust. But when Betty meets a fashionable forest sprite called Misty Jamjar, it dawns on her that perhaps her old pals aren’t as sophisticated as she once thought. 
    Misty convinces Betty that being small ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. If Betty can help Misty break into the Queen’s heavily guarded vault, they might just be able to gain access to the Orb of Ogg. This legendary Orb has the potential to change Betty back to her original, stunning height. GOLLY GHERKINS! It’s not as if Misty Jamjar is a secret baddy or anything. And Betty isn’t going to accidentally become as tall as a massive giant. That would be ridiculous. 
    This humorous children's fiction is a top pick for family reading. Betty's adventure with Misty Jamjar, filled with mythical creatures and action, leads them to the Queen's vault in a quest to retrieve the Orb of Ogg. 
    For fans of Gina Loveless (Who Is the Bucks Bandit?), Robie H. Harris (Maybe a Bear Ate It!), Michael Emberley (An Annoying ABC), Alex T. Smith (Anyone For Strawberries?), and Dapo Adeola (My Mum is a Lioness).
