Time traveling dog sent to different times to help people. This is the first Ranger in Time book I read of this series. It was good. Kate Messner shares the urgency of Titanic's situation without sharing all the sadness.

The best book. Honestly I loved this book it was one of my favorite books I have ever read and I want to have more people be able to have that feeling we’re you just get caught in a good book. I will call it a short book but it will be a breathtaking book that you will remember for the rest of your life. For now I will call it the best book I have ever read. My age rating will be 6+. I hope you are able to read this book and get that feeling that I got.

People have spilled a lot of ink over the Titanic's sinking, but this story treads new ground regardless, covering the event from the perspective of an Irish shipbuilder turned steward and some children immigrating from Lebanon. The historical note shares more information about the Titanic, and about the true historical basis for these characters. The historical note also shares information about the animals on the ship, since Ranger meets some of them.

I’m a big Ranger fan AND a voracious reader of all things Titanic so I really wanted to check out this one. As usual, Messner has done her research and presents a historically accurate, yet kid-friendly rendition of this tragic event with a time traveling golden retriever thrown in for good measure. Love the backmatter!
