Adventures of Reddy Fox by Thornton W. Burgess

The Adventures of Reddy Fox is a fun book of moral tales and high adventure by the famed conservationist Thornton W. Burgess. In this story, Reddy has gotten a little too bold for his own good and has stolen a chicken in broad daylight. Now, he must outsmart Farmer Brown’s Boy who is out to get Reddy for his deed. Along the way, Reddy encounters many of the citizens of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest and with him we learn little lessons about life, such as: the perils of being a show off; the importance of using all of one’s senses, that it is a fine thing to show sympathy and kindness to others – even our enemies, and that the value of a grandmother’s wisdom is inestimable. We also learn that after you’ve stolen a boy’s pet chicken and he is coming your way with a gun, a shovel and a hound dog, it may be time to beat a hasty retreat!

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne

Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout as a replacement. At the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000 (£2,075,400 in 2017)[5] from his fellow club members to complete such a journey within this time period. With Monsieur Passepartout accompanying him, Fogg departs from London by train at 8:45 p.m. on 2 October; if he is to win the wager, then he will have to return to the club by this same time on 21 December, 80 days later.

The adventures on their journey are abundant and imaginative, making for a fun read, with a cliffhanger ending into the bargain, Around the World in Eighty Days is a hard book to put down!
