review 1: Fourteen-year-old Louisa Gardener works as an assistant to a strict nanny in a very wealthy household. She loves her job, as it gives her a chance to rise from her poor beginnings. Everything is going well until she learns she has to accompany the family on a voyage to American on the inaugural sailing of the Titanic. This is a problem for Louisa because she has feared the ocean ever since her younger brother drowned when she was five-years-old. This fresh perspective on the events surrounding the sinking of the Titanic provides a memorable story. The beauty of this book lies in the description of how beautiful and opulent the ship was. Readers get an authentic feel for the class distinctions represented on the ship as well. This is a fascinating read and if you like... more the movie Titanic, you will like this book.
review 2: A really great historical novel for middle grade that highlights the differences between the social classes, and offers a glimpse of what life was like for a working-class girl pre- WWI. Titanic is always a popular subject with kids, and the bird's-eye view of the disaster will keep them reading. My only criticism of this title is that the last chapter felt a bit rushed as though the author ran out of time and had to wrap up quickly. less
