A trip around the world!

Once again Devin and his friend for life even if she is a girl Frankie find themselves zapped through Mrs.Figglehopper's mysterious zapper gates in the library and right into Julius Vern's 19th century book Around The World In Eighty Days. There they meet the robotic and cold Phileas Fogg and his contrasting servants, who is energetic, Passporte. When Fogg places a bet that he can make it around the world in eighty days the four find themselves journeying around the world. Together they have to brave the delays, rescue a princess, and weazel their way around a very annoying Detective Fix, who is set that Fogg is a bank robber. This Cracked Classic was one of my favorite and I do recommend parents getting it for their children. It makes sometimes boring classics a lot more fun.
