I don't like historical fiction, so this book isn't my favorite. It has a lot of facts about the sinking of the titanic. Maybe you would like to read it if you like reading historical fiction books.

This book was the 1st book of the I survived series. When I read It., I was blown away about how the author really made me feel as if I was on the Titanic
This is a really good book. The book is about how the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. It was a very interesting book and I enjoyed reading it.
