Review by Horn Book Review

George, his sister, and their wealthy aunt sail from England on the ill-fated Titanic. When tragedy strikes, George is separated from his sister and aunt, but miraculously all survive the disaster. Though the events are contrived, reluctant readers may be drawn to this fast-paced book with short, easy-to-read chapters. Shadowy black-and-white illustrations add to the text. (c) Copyright 2010.

The ship lurched. "We're going down!" a man screamed. George closed his eyes. He told himself that he was really home with on his farm. That he was really safe under his quilts, with Phoebe snoring across their little room. Slowly George opened his eyes. No. He was wide awake. And there was nowhere for George to go but into the freezing water. Excerpted from I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic 1912 by Lauren Tarshis All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
