this is a very good book!
Good book. Read in 1 day. Story about a 13 year old boy and his family aboard the Titanic.
By Scholastic. Engrossing.. even young children are fascinated by this tale. An entertaining blend of fact and fiction...dramatic...
A very good book, but it left me wanting more. It was very well done, Barbara Williams is a very good author. But this book didn't satify me.
