Summary: A survival story about two kids on the Titanic.
Review: After her parents die in England, Karolina's aunt comes to take her home to America. Although she misses her parents terribly, she has resigned herself to the fact that they are never coming back, and she tries to enjoy the trip home on the Titanic, sad as she is. Gavin, who is twelve like Karolina, is earning his passage to America by working in the Titanic's galley. He misses his family back home in Ireland but is eager to join his older brother in New York. Gavin and Karolina meet by chance one night and become friends. On the night the ship sinks, they are thrown together, fighting to survive the terrible disaster. I reccomend this book if you like survival stories or books about the Titanic or shipwrecks.

Summary: How Sad!!
Review: I love books on the Titanic, so I had to read this one. It wasn't as good as some I've read, but it was still very interesting and suspencful- Will Gavin amd Karolina survive? What about Aunt Rose? I must confess, I expected more to happen between Karolina and Gavin, but we can't have everything. Also I would like to point out a mistake: On the back cover when talking about Karolina, it says 'Karolina Green', but in the book it says 'Karolina Truman' what's with that?

Review: I recommend this book to kids aged 10-15 because it's a book about history and about surviving a shipwreck. This book has good excitement and suspense, you don't know if Karolina or Gavin will make it alive. This book can help kids in a lot of different situations; such as a social studies test about when the TITANIC sank, also this could actually save kids lives if they are really on a sinking ship. What if you loved your aunt so much that if a ship was about to sink that you could save your self-including your aunt. Karolina and Gavin saved a lot of peoples lives by telling people to "get to a life boat immediately". This book is a good thriller and I suggest you read it!

Review: I thought that this book was well written though it did take some times to get into the plot. At certain time I did think that it got a little dull but overall it was well written and quite interesting. If your wondering about the reading level it would be about right for grades 4-7. For forth graders it may be a little difficult and for seventh graders it may be a little easy. Overall, I would recomend this book to most people unless they need action 100% all of the time.
