My kid always reads these I survived books he is in second grade and 4.0 reading level!

I think it was romantic that Rose and Jack fell in love and the sacrifice between themselves is risky though.

i like this book :3

It is my absolute favorite book in the series! (Don’t know if I just really like the titanic or what)

This book was amazing! I love learning about the Titanic. It was sad what happened to the ship. It hit an iceberg and sunk in the ocean.

I would really like to read this book because I only saw the movie. I'ts better to read the book than watching the movie so you can learn the history. Also this story is 107 years old and no I did not search how old it is but I know that my grandfather is only 1 year older than this story because he was born in 1911!

I loved how the author had written the beginnings with parts of the story. Its so exciting and amazing! When I first read this book, the beginning convinced me that this book will be exciting for me. And when I finished the book, I was stunned. Then, BOOM! I loved it!

There this boy named George, his little sister phoebe and his Aunt Daisy went on the ship. One day George met these people who show him a layout of the ship. One night at twelve the Titanic hit an iceberg it was so dark the ship did not see it they tried there best to turn the ship around but it was too late. The side of the ship was all mess but there were wholes in the ship which made water going thought the ship much faster people running as fast as they can to get on a lifeboat there was only one problem there wasn't enough lifeboats for everyone. Read this book to see if his family survived the sinking ship. This book reminds of time if I went on a boat would this start to sink I would be so scared and I'm not the best swimmer. I give this book a four because I read so many books about the Titanic I knows what happen but I like this book because I love the thing about our history.
