I really liked this book my favorite character was aunt daisy. This book was about the titanic and how George survived when the boat sank

George and Pheobe were offered to go on the Titanic with their aunt. When they said yes they got ready and boarded. On the ship while George was exploring he met Enzo and his dad Marco. When it is time to get off the ship George cannot get on a lifeboat because he is considered a man. Instead he gets into a crate with Marco and they float until they find another ship where their families are waiting for them.

It is a adventure of a lifetime for two kids George and his sister Phoebe that get a chance to go on a ship that they called the titanic aka the unsinkable ship and they will on a great voyage suddenly everything went wrong. They will have to figure out now they will survived. find out in this book!

I really like this book a lot but I honestly can not say I love it. That is because it is so sad how many people died! But it is not the books fault that they died.

I enjoyed this book. I think I Survived books are like Magic Tree house books because they teach our about the past. This is a great book if you are looking for a nonfiction book.

I liked it because it stuck to the facts but focused on one person's experience. It still kept the facts real. When the Titanic started sinking, he had gone down to a lower level because one of the rich people had an Egyptian mummified princess and he went down to take a peek at it. He lost his sister because he had been causing trouble and running around awhile and she would tag along on the trouble. When the ship started sinking his sister wasn't in the room. He suggested she leave lemon drops like bread crumbs and he followed them to lower class people who were trying to get out to upper levels. He convinced the security guy to let them in and then he let them out.
