A boy named George, his little sister Phoebe, and his aunt Aunt Daisy went on the Titanic when George met the person who made the ship who showed him a diagram of the ship and he met Enzo And Marco who were Italian . But when the ship sinks there is a problem and it is who will survive. But then George tried to escape. He met the same person that George met when he was sneaking out at night.
I felt so excited when the end came closer and when I finished the book I was so entertained that it even gave true facts about the Titanic and how many people survived.I would recommend it to someone who loves short chapter books and likes facts about the Titanic.
This book was very interesting. It is nice to see a new point of view from accidental disasters that happened before I was even born! It was cool how George would be very descriptive and funny. I would rate this and recommend it for 4-6 graders.
I didn't really love this book because it didn't give me a lot of information about the actual titanic sinking and more of an idea of what actually happened. Don't get me wrong, the concept and how they put it together was great, but it didn't really give me the feeling of being with the book. That is why I am only giving it three stars.
I didn't like this book. It didn't really give me the feeling that other I survived books do. It is about a boy named George. He was coming back from England. He was on the Titanic and he sunk. I cant relate to this book whatsoever.
The reason why I gave this book a three-star rating is because it didn't give much information about the actual Titanic sinking. It gave more of a fictional story about George surviving the Titanic. He was on the Titanic with his sister, coming back from visiting their Aunt Daisy in England. As the Titanic was sinking everyone screamed while George just stood there.
In my opinion, I really liked this book. One reason why is because there is a fell for adventure in young George. Another reason why is The last reason why is because it is a little scary and mysterious.
My favorite part is when George finds his sister on the RMS Carpathia
You might like this book if you like adventure and action.
You should read this book because it is fun and it will keep you awake through the whole book.
