This book is good. It tells the story of George. He is a ten year old boy trapped on the Titanic. How will he escape? I recommend this book to anyone who likes history with excitement
The book was about the Titanic. One of the things that happened was it hit an iceberg and sank. In the book they explained that over 1000 people died. The main characters were George, Pheobe, Aunt Daisy, Marco, Enzo, and Henry. In the book they were some of the people on the Titanic. Not all of them survived though, and that was upsetting.
The book I Survived the Titanic is a good book that people should read. It is a good book for people that like short interesting stories. The main character is George, who is brave but is also a trouble maker. His sister Phoebe is smart. Marco and Enzo, two people that George meets from Italy on the Titanic are nice people that care about themselves and others. Aunt Daisy that Phoebe and George are on the Titanic with, is nice, but she doesn't like it how George is getting in trouble all the time. This book takes place on the Titanic where George, Phoebe, and Aunt Daisy are staying. I Survived the Titanic is about George, Phoebe, and Aunt Daisy on the Titanic. George gets in a lot of trouble. When he is doing something he's not supposed to, he sees a scarred- faced man in the first class baggage, so he runs back to his room. All of a sudden the engines stop and he hears a noise. When he gets back to his room Phoebe is not there, she must have followed George. They have to find her because all of the first class passengers need to go to the upper deck. George remembers that Phoebe was going to leave a trail of lemon drops so she doesn't get lost. They followed them all the way to the lower class, where there is a lot of sad, scared, and screaming people. That's when they met Marco and Enzo. Enzo helped George find Phoebe and they went thought the ladders to go to the upper deck because the other part was blocked by water.
You can't go wrong with an I Survived book, and this is another good one. I love the story of Titanic, and the suspense in the book. Great read.
This book is was amazing but it could of been a bit longer
This is a fiction book about a boy and girl who travel on the Titanic. They have fun and enjoy themselves until the "unsinkable" ship is in danger. Will they escape in time?
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.
I like all the titanic books
George is on the Titanic which sinks but he jumps on a raft and rescues someone else. This is an easy and fun read. There is adventure in it.
