This is simply a great book. Short, suspenseful, and all around a thrilling and satisfying read. This book is about George, who goes on a trip on the Titanic with his family. When the ship crashes and sinks, George must figure out a way to escape, safely. Now I don't want to be a spoiler, so I won't tell you the ending. Let me just tell you this: it's a great book, packed with loads of description and great words. This book is just as great as the rest of the I Survived Series, and maybe even just a bit better.

This was a pretty good read for me. I like reading this series because it is realistic fiction. George Calder and Phoebe Calder (his sister), are traveling with their Aunt Daisy, on the famous ship, the Titanic. George loves the ship, because there are several different places to be, and lots of places to explore. Something goes wrong when he decides to slip into a cabin, and all of a sudden, things go wrong. Like REALLY wrong. Water starts to make its way into the cabin, and George has to find a way out before it's too late. But will George make it out alive? That's up to you to find out, by reading I Survived: The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912!
I really like u survived books because they are really interesting. I also really like the story about the titanic. The movie made me cry. I really wished jack did not die. But when I saw Jack in real life he was not hot.
