I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic 1912 looks like a very interesting book. I have read three other books in the I Survived series and this one looks just as interesting.

"I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912" is a really good read. If you want a short book on historical fiction, I recommend practically EVERY "I Survived" book. George and his little sister, Phoebe, are traveling back to America with their Aunt Daisy on the Titanic. Everyone claims it is unsinkable, and everyone overlooks the fact that there are 16 lifeboats on a 2,229-capacity cruise. But it turns out an iceberg can overturn a ship as big and grandeur as the Titanic. At first, Phoebe is missing and George and Aunt Daisy have to find her. Then, they meet Marco, a friend of George, and find Phoebe. Then, they escape to the top of the deck with ladders they found in the boiler room. Once, they get on deck, they crew only allowed Phoebe and Aunt Becky to go on the lifeboats. Marco and George get off the boat and eventually swim to another lifeboat. In the end, they all meet up on a passing boat and everyone reaches New York and is scarred for life by their terrifying experiences.

George and Pheobe were offered to go on the Titanic with their aunt. When they said yes they got ready and boarded. On the ship while George was exploring he met Enzo and his dad Marco. When it is time to get off the ship George cannot get on a lifeboat because he is considered a man. Instead he gets into a crate with Marco and they float until they find another ship where their families are waiting for them.
