If You Were a Kid Aboard the Titanic By Josh Gregory, Illustrated by Sebastia Serra Alice Carver is traveling aboard the incredible Titanic with her mother to make a new home in the United States. Meanwhile, William Alexander III is aboard as part of a vacation with his wealthy family. Readers will explore the Titanic’s many features with these characters as they meet on the ill-fated ship. 7-9 years Jim Mulholland has been assigned as cabin boy for one of the finest ships the world has ever seen. He also is in charge of the ship’s cat, caring for her between his duties. When he loses her before the ship takes off, Jim finds himself in the midst of a major struggle that will affect the rest of his life. This touching story is a great way to show another side of the Titanic story and form of entertainment. Early Elementary The actual demise of the Titanic is reported in just enough detail not to scare younger readers while still leaving no doubt as to how catastrophic and initially unbelievable the whole event was. Well-known facts are interspersed with the lesser appreciated details to give a good understanding of what really happened alongside what could have been. Ken Marschall made a name for himself for lavish illustrations of books about the Titanic, and this is probably his best one. Like Steve Noon, he uses cutaway illustrations to make readers feel they are actually inside the doomed liner. The real-life accounts of passengers focus on the children aboard the Titanic, which is a particularly compelling (and harrowing) approach.

This is a great mix of factual and fictional with a mythological twist in the tail. The story of Clara runs alongside a fictionalised account of Sid Daniels, an actual steward aboard the Titanic, and his deposition to the United States Senate Enquiry which is inserted throughout. I SURVIVED is historical fiction, describing ten year-old George Calder’s battle for survival. Lauren’s book is gentle fare, especially considering the terrible setting, but it is well researched and enduringly popular. There were about a thousand on board Britannic when she foundered, many of them wounded, but remarkably only 28 people died – the warm water of the Aegean and Britannic’s proximity to the Greek island of Kea saving their lives. For the second time in her life, Violet found herself writing in her diary, “The wonder of finding myself alive will always remain in my memory”.
