I really love the Dear America books and this one is no exception. The retelling of a young girl’s experience on the Titanic, while fictitious, is based in history and really gives you a sense of how frightening an experience that was. There was a bit of goofy foreshadowing that as an adult I thought was silly but probably didn’t notice at all when I read it for the first time as a kid.

I loved both the Dear America and Royal Diaries series from Scholastic as a 90s tween. Now, I'm in my 30s and still adore the books! I have several of the Royal Diaries on my bookshelf. This the first at my attempt to read all the titles I missed.

I love anything Titanicas a kid and this was no exception.
This novel also gave me very unrealistic ideas about romance as I was just dying for a kiss such as Robert gives Margaret.
Pity he died. Sort of 1997 James Cameron shadowing

I understand this is meant for children and we're not trying to traumatize them, but I wanted more drama.

One of my favorite diaries of all times. I'm fascinated in the Titanic and this book really explains how it would have felt to be on the Titanic with some romance tied into it. The ending is sad but the book is wonderful!
