Great read
"Great book for a primary reader who loves books that have a historical element. The reader usually reads Magic Tree House books which incorporate a story line that places the characters in a historic event. These books are more straight reading about the event."
— J Y. (5/5)
A great book for someone interested in the Titanic and any history about it.
"Our 8 year old grandson has been interested in the Titanic in pictures and books. But he did not have his own book until now. He loves to read and this book will keep him busy reading for a while."
