I really enjoyed this book! The I Survived series is one of my favorites, it always has me thinking what is going to happen next! The book is about a boy named George and he is boarding the boat with his sister Phoebe and his Aunt Daisy. Along the way he meets an ancient mummy princess (or at least he thinks its a mummy princess) oops I should've said sees. He also meets very loud italian Enzo and his son Marco. Suddenly the ship hits an iceberg! Read the book to find out what happens next

March.This book is about a boy named George that gets to go on the Titanic! He is finding all sorts of cool things to do on the big ship (but he always gets in trouble for them) like sliding down the main staircase banister or going to the 1st class baggage room to get a peek of an ancient prinncess mummy that was on board. He also got to meet the designer of the Titanic to. The designer told him about the ship and also about secret passage ways! The only people traveling with George were his aunt and his sister Phoebe. George also met some other people like Italian man with his son (witch I forget there names). Then something happened.... The Titanic hit an iceberg! People were not worried about it though, they were on the lower deck just playing games with ice balls and not even the captain was really worried that much about it...but then it happened. The Titanic was sinking! Now people were getting scared. George his aunt and Phoebe headed for a live boat but there werent enough boats so George and his italian friend. Ther was nothing to do. The boat was sinking. They had no choice.........they had to jump into the freezing cold water hoping that they would find a lifeboat to get to safty. So they jumped into the water. It was so cold that George though that hundreds of tiny needles were stabing him.

I read this book when I was 8. I adored it. I still like to read these books now. If you are 6-10, I recommend reading this book. I'm usually not into action, but, I still adored the book. This is a kind of book everyone enjoys. It has some Historical-Fiction, some Action, and lots of Drama. You won't want to put the book down.
