But young, ambitious Nellie Bly knew she was destined for more, so she pulled a major journalistic stunt that skyrocketed her to fame: feigning insanity, she was committed to the notorious asylum on Blackwell's Island and, upon her release, she wrote a shocking exposé of the clinic's horrific treatment of its patients. Nellie Bly became a household name as the world followed her enthralling career in "stunt" journalism, raising awareness of political corruption, poverty, and abuses of human rights. Nellie also circled the globe in a record seventy-two days and brought home a pet monkey before marrying an aged millionaire and running his company after his death.Ages 10 and up.1210LAccelerated ReaderAccelerated Reader AR

Cinco esquinas / by Vargas Llosa, Mario,1936-author.(CARDINAL)351999; Alfaguara (Firm)(CARDINAL)435755;
"La idea de esta novela comenzó con una imagen de dos señoras amigas que de pronto una noche, de una manera impensada para ambas, viven una situación erótica. Luego se fue convirtiendo en una historia policial, casi un thriller, y el thriller se fue transformando en una especie de mural de la sociedad peruana en los últimos meses o semanas de la dictadura de Fujimori y Montesinos. Me gustó la idea de que la historia se llamase Cinco esquinas como un barrio que, de alguna manera, es emblemático de Lima, de Perú y también de la época en la que está situada la historia."--

The thief-taker hangings : how Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Wild, and Jack Sheppard captivated London and created the celebrity criminal / by Skirboll, Aaron,author.(CARDINAL)499935;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Chronicles the invention of scandal journalism by Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe"--"In the early 1700s, lawlessness ruled England, and highwaymen, thieves, and prostitutes thrived. When notorious burglar Jack Sheppard finally met the hangman, street singers warbled ballads about the housebreaker whom no prison could hold. Before his execution, he told his story to a writer in the crowd. Daniel Defoe had done hard time himself for sedition and bankruptcy and saw how prison corrupted the poor. They came out thieves, but he came out a journalist. Six months later, Defoe covered another death at the hanging tree. Jonathan Wild had all but invented the double-cross. He cultivated thieves and then betrayed them for his reward and their executions. Jack Sheppard hadn't taken orders from this self-proclaimed "thief-taker general," and the two-faced bounty hunter took it personally, helping to bring the burglar's life to an end. But Wild's duplicity soon came to light, and he became the most despised man in the land. When he swung, a mob hurled rocks, rotten food, and even dead animals at him. Defoe once again got the scoop, and tabloid journalism had begun"--
