sad man sad man

that book was sad man like wow

This book is pretty good because it was based on the true story, except told by a child. It is captivating because George and his little sister Phoebe have to get off the ship once the ship hit the iceberg. After reading the book a second time over, I found out that something that I didn't understand the first time is an important thing to know about the world now.

George and his sister were going on the titanic everyone thought the ship was unsinkable . one night the ship hit an iceberg.

I really liked this story. It was an adventure. It got scary at one part. The Titanic was the biggest moving object ever built. I liked that it was facts and made up stories put together.
