That is a person you should look up to

I personally am super-into the Titanic so will read anything I can get my fingers on that is about the Titanic. Pretty good read and very tense, very dramatic. A good book for all ages.

it's an awesome book that makes you feel like you've been there.

This is an excellent book! I love all the history.

I can't belive it was real. I have the book and the rest of the I survived books. But I like this one the best.

I survived is a popular series written by no one other than, Lauren Tarshis. Join George and his family for a destination of a lifetime. In this book you will experience many elements to a story, action, suspense, and tragedy. George, a middle classed person. Not wealthy, but certainly not poor. His grandfather died last year after his mother’s death and he, his sister Phoebe, and his grandmother are going to board the Titanic. Onwards, to meet their father. George is a troubled child, he would find himself into the wrong place every day, and his father, being somewhat strict. Would send George to military school. The main conflict is now up to George not to get himself into trouble and survive this luxury ship. Join George and his family on their journey onto the Titanic. From where the luxury turns into danger….. I would recommend this book to people who are interested by the titanic and wants to learn more from this historical fiction novel.
