Step into the thrilling world of journalism with Nellie Bly, a woman who risked everything to uncover the truth! Long before women were widely accepted as reporters, Nellie Bly was determined to write stories that mattered. She did not just sit at a desk. She went undercover to expose unfair working conditions, investigate hidden wrongs, and shine a light on people who needed help. She even famously raced around the entire globe just to prove she could beat a fictional record, writing about her incredible adventures for her newspaper along the way. Reaching for her dreams was never easy, and plenty of people told her that a woman could not be a serious investigative journalist. But Nellie refused to give up. Part of the inspiring She Persisted chapter book series, this exciting biography explores how Nellie Bly broke the rules, faced down every obstacle, and paved the way for future generations of female reporters. Complete with engaging illustrations and a special introduction by Chelsea Clinton, this book will inspire you to speak up, seek the truth, and make your own mark on the world.

An affectionate storybook tribute to that truly wonderful place: the library.


Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.
