In this classic adventure novel, first published in 1873, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a 20,000 pound wager set by his friends at the Reform Club - and he is determined not to lose. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, the reserved Englishman and his manservant immediately set off.

In the late nineteenth century, when Conor Broekhart discovers a conspiracy to overthrow the king, he is branded a traitor, imprisoned, and forced to mine for diamonds under brutal conditions while he plans a daring escape from Little Saltee prison by way of a flying machine that he must design, build, and, hardest of all, trust to carry him to safety.

Piper Penguin has a dream to invent a machine that will let penguins fly. That dream, however, has made him the laughingstock of Penguinville High. His dad, a famous inventor, tries to help him but even he can't offer a solution. His three best friends also want to help but always fall short. When Wiley, the killer whale and mortal enemy of all penguins, sets a trap for the citizens of Penguinville, it's up to Piper to finally make his flying dreams...
