They are then enjoying their trip until the titanic hits an iceberg. From then, they are evacuated from the ship but the young boy George wants to help the friends (a boy and his father) he meets aboard the ship. George helps save both of them.

This book was amazing because many people have heard about the disastrous event in history. George and his little sister went on the Titanic with their aunt. George thought it was going to be the happiest and most exciting time of his life. Well, he was wrong. While George was exploring the cruise ship, the ship began shaking out of control. That was when everyone started screaming. The ship was about to sink! He helped many people throughout the whole scary event. Gladly, he was able to survive. I read many I Survived and I think this would be my favorite one. I rate this book 5 out of 5.
i like this book because it has destruction.it is cool
I Survived the Titanic is one book of the "I Survived" series. In this book George and his little sister Phoebe set sail with their aunt on the Titanic! George is amazed by the excited places to explore, and the fun on board. But then disaster strikes-in the shape of an iceberg. George is exploring a storage room when the ship starts to shake, and there is a loud boom noise. Will George survive one of the most famous shipwrecks? Will he and Phoebe every reach their destination? This book is a great elementary read, and I would recommend it to grades 3-5. Even though these books are very well beneath my reading level, I will read one once in a while for fun. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Everybody has heard of the infamous disaster or the Titanic... and if you haven't heard of it... where were you during the past years of your life??? Just kidding!! But seriously, if you never heard of the Titanic of if you have a mild interest of the Titanic.. then this book is perfect for you! I literally love this author because what she is able to do is that she can have her main characters witnessing or experiencing any historical moments or disasters and make it sound so realistic..These series itself is a great one.. .so if you have time pick up these short reads... and onto the summary! Honestly this book is one of these good books that's melancholy as well... but trust me you learn a great deal of knowledge... So George is the one who narrates this whole terrifying moment... after being invited by his aunt, George and his sister, Phoebe, explores the ship... but once the ship hits the iceberg... everything comes to halt... in less than a second... they are placed in a life and death situation... no words can explain how well this book was written... so all I'm going to say is... enjoy it!!!
