A sad and touching story about a boy and his sister who goes on the Titanic with his aunt and they meet a little boy and his father and they help each other on their way to excaping the Titanic .
I rely want this book because my older brother read the book and I want to have it .Also I want it because what if we and my family were in a giunt ship and it sank up and that will be like I survived the sinking of the titanic and that's why Iwant this book.
this was an amazing book with all it's characters and it's action and it has a happy ending but a sad middle.
Lauren Tarshis did a good job writing this historical fiction novel. this book book is part of the amazing I survived series. I recommend this to History geeks.
I really liked this book. The main character is a 10 year-old boy named George Calder. George Calder must be the luckiest kid alive. He and his little sister, Phoebe, are sailing with their aunt on the Titanic, the greatest ship ever built. George can't resist exploring every inch of the ship, even if he gets in trouble. Then the ship hits an iceberg and it starts to sink. George is left by himself on the sinking ship. How can he survive?
Its good and it also has the history in the titanic and i like the story and i also like the others stories that lauren has done
I think that although this historical fiction book is short, it's good for anyone who wants to read about how it was like for a child (passenger) during the sinking of the Titanic. Whenever I read the I Survived series books, I can feel like I'm actually in the story, experiencing whatever's happening. I like that the author writes this using a character that makes sense and having the story being told in past tense. I also like how the author makes the first chapter a short chapter about how the protagonist is feeling, then makes the following chapter all about the events that lead up to what happens in the first one.
This a historical fiction book with many twists and turns. A boy takes a voyage on the Titanic with his brother and his mother. He befriends a little boy on the boat. The rest of the story is about how the boy survives the sinking of the massive ship.
I read this book a while ago but i just reread it. It's really good! All of the I survived books are really interesting and yet you still learn a little bit of history. Would definietly reccomend
