It was sad.
It was sad.
It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the sea.
Men and women, husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

I've always loved learning more about the Titanic. This was a cute story about a family making the crossing.

This is a great Titanic story discussing what it is to be a man and the difficulties in that space between childhood and adulthood.

This is one of the many books that my sisters and I would listen to at night and from my point of view then, it was a fantastic book.

I have read this book dozens of times since I was in elementary school. For some reason, it is the book I pick up when I want a quick read on a lazy Saturday. It has to be a good book if I can read it that many times, right?

Reread this for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic. Still a good book 15 years later about a 13 year old boy who is denied entry onto a lifeboat.

Albert Trask, his widowed mother, his younger sister, and his uncle are returning home to Virginia after the death of his father. They happen to book passage on the Titanic - oopsie. The book is a rather slow read and Williams devotes very little time to the actual sinking. The ending is very touching as young Albert must come to terms with his losses and grow up. All in all a pleasant, if slow read.
