" It's a novel by Jules Verne," she continued. "He writes for young readers, but adults enjoy his work as well."
"What's it about?"
"An Englishman who accepts a wager to go around the world in eighty days. He travels by train, ships, horse, elephant, and even a wind-powered sledge."
Mr. Severin's perplexed gaze met hers. "Why read an entire novel about that when you could obtain the itinerary from a travel office?"
She smiled at that. "The novel isn't about the itinerary. What's important is what he learns along the way."
"Which is?"
"Read it," she challenged, "and find out. "
