Summary: SOS Titanic`
Review: Unfortunately, this valiant effort is Wayyyy over-shadowed by the TITANIC hype thrust upon popular culture by James Cameron's film. This is a sweet and well told story from a young person's POV, with real-life characters and events blended with fiction. However, after all the info on the subject with which we've been inundated, this little book ends up seeming trivial at best. The author makes, ironically, the same mistake as Cameron...the best TITANIC stories are the ones who focus on the REAL LIFE characters and not their made-up counterparts.

Summary: Titanic is one of the world's biggest disasters
Review: While Titanic was so tradgic I thought it was hard to believe. In reality this really is a part of history and quite a big one to. If you have seen the movie or even read any book about Titanic you will see what I mean. So many people, some good, some bad died over 1,500. I would reccomend this book to other kids ages 9-(any age) because it is good to learn about tradic things that happen in life.

Summary: A PLASTIC FLOWER IN A REAL FLOWER GARDEN
Review: Writing a fiction story about the Titanic is trivial.This is just a simple little story that tries to capitalize on one of the greatest events of the 20th.century.While an historical novel can create an image of what took place in the past,such is the case in "Gone With The Wind" portraying life during the Civil War.This novel does no such thing for the simple reason there is no reason for it.It is like someone making a plastic flower and placing it in a real garden;it's just not needed and becomes a triviality.
