Pack your bags for the adventure of a lifetime!

It’s 1872 and when 11-year-old Maggie Appleton’s mother dies, she’s left with nothing but a letter addressed to a mysterious stranger called Passepartout. With nowhere else to turn, Maggie seeks out this peculiarly named person and is drawn into an adventure beyond her wildest dreams.

Together with Passepartout’s employer, the puzzling Mr Phileas Fogg, Maggie journeys to Italy, India, Hong Kong, Japan and America in a daring race against time to win a bet that Mr Fogg has accepted!

But with a bank robber on the loose, an angry Inspector on their tail and unread secrets in her mother’s letter, Maggie soon discovers that there is much more at stake than just staying on schedule to win Fogg’s wager.

Who can she really trust – and will she ever find out where she truly belongs?
