An easy read for a 10 year old, but good. Suspense but not a lot. Fiction so that was disappointing. Still a good book for shark lovers and thrill seekers.

I love this series! The Titanic is one of my favorite parts in history to read about. I have read this whole series. This is one of my favorites. They are quick reads and give good information.

my great grandad survived the sinking of the titanic
that's awesome if that's real
I like the books in this series. This one is about a boy named George Caldor who is traveling with his Aunt Daisy and sister Phoebe in first class on the Titanic. George is curious and a little sneaky too. He is always getting into trouble. He sneaks out of his room to see if there is a mummy on the ship. He had heard that there was one in the storage area. He didn't know it but his little sister followed him. The Titanic struck the iceberg while they were out exploring. George made it back to his room, but phoebe didn't. George feels terrible because he knows that it is his fault. George realized that Phoebe left a trail of Lemon Drops to find her way back. Then George and his friend Enzo, plus his dad Marco helped look for Phoebe. George and Enzo find Phoebe and go up to get on the lifeboats. There is a happy ending, but not without some excitement and danger. I don't want to give all the plot away so I will stop my review right now.
This series is amazing! The next book is as good, or better than the last! This book specifically was great. I always loved learning about the Titanic, but it's hard to find a book that is not only educational, but is also interesting to read. This book mastered both of these requirements. Thank you Ms.Lauren Tarshis for making a series that will be forever loved by me.
Just like other i survived books, the event was real but the character was from Lauren's imagination. I don't necessarily love history yet I love the series weird how that works, isn't it?

This is a great series. It is a historical fiction book about the Titanic and how it sank. Read this book to understand what is must have felt like to be on the Titanic.
I did not like this book in the least bit. It is edutional, but really boring to read. It was a long time ago in 1912!!!
I liked this book anybody that gave it one star doesn't have a brain
I think that it is important to learn about the past so that we can learn from our mistakes. Maybe if you could look past the date at hand and see it as another good book, you might grow to love it. I am very sorry that you did not like this book.
This book is amazing. It really helps me understand just how devastating the sinking of the Titanic was. While reading this book I actually started to cry. I love how the author built the relationship between the characters Enzo and George. She gives them like an older-younger brother like relationship. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in either the Titanic or history, or if you just want a little cry.
