I’m not sure who I could suggest this book to. It is aimed towards children, but the art and themes don’t fit as well as I’d like. That being said, it could be good for some kids.
I feel like Nellie Bly was more deserving of her own book geared towards teens. Also, calling her “girl reporter” instead of “woman reporter” isn’t exactly cool.
In the Joshua Slocum section, I didn’t feel like the pace of his past, hallucinations, and eventual disappearance were paced properly.
Why was Thomas Stevens even there?!
Also, the art felt unfinished in parts.
