We all know how the Titanic's story ends, so there is plenty of suspense here, as well as fascinating historical details. It was an excellent novel with a wonderful main character (and yes, don't worry--she survives).
Read my full review & listen to a sample of the excellent audio:

4.5 rounded down. What a gripping read! And such an easy protagonist to root for.

"Third class is for hardworking people who are trying to make something of their lives, and most of them will if they get the chance. Second class is for the people who already got that chance. First class is everyone else."

Nielsen is just phenomenal!! So far, my son and I have loved absolutely everything she has written. This telling of the Titanic was so great! While it was fiction, she did an incredible job tying in so many different facts and lessons. Everything from the meaning of friendship to types of glaciers to refraction. We learned a ton, and my son said it was one of his personal favorite books.
