Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is a classic adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published in 1873.
What a stunning discovery: an old, coded note that actually contains directions for reaching the Earth's very core! And once he finds it, renowned geologist Professor Liedenbrock can't resist setting out with his 16-year-old nephew to go where only one man has gone before. Jules Verne takes young readers on one of the most incredible journeys ever imagined, from Iceland's frozen tundra far down into fantastic underground prehistoric worlds and back up again through the fires of an erupting volcano.
When Verne the turtle and his woodland friends wake up from their hibernation, they find a suburban neighborhood encroaching on their forest home, Verne's first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave, but then he meets R.J., a con-artist racoon. R.J. views suburbia as a treasure trove of goodies waiting to be discovered. And since he owes a very angry bear a lot of food, the opportunity is to good to pass up -- especially if he can convince his new friends to help him!
