Daisey
Iceberg | Jennifer A. Nielsen

Overall I liked this historical fiction from the point of view of a girl who stows away on the Titanic, but there were a few issues for me as a reader. Hazel sneaks onto the ship and then makes herself way too visible, including spending time in the first class areas. She asks specific questions that provide lots of clear information about the flaws/mistakes that led to the catastrophe, and of course it all works out well for her in the end.

Daisey It was all just a bit too perfect for me. At the same time, it is an interesting story of the different types of people on the Titanic and the events as they occurred.

What Was the Titanic? | Stephanie Sabol
Pickpick

Non fiction - published in 2018. The story of the Titanic and how the magnificent ship met its doom fascinates kids. This short book offers young readers an overview of the conditions and mistakes that led to the notable maritime disaster and the rediscovery of the sunken ship almost a century later.

“Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.”

This was an important book to me at the peak of my Titanic reading obsession…

4/4⭐️
I have read this book several times since the early 1980s (when I first read it) and it never fails to entertain me. I hate that I lost my childhood copy (which had the best cover IMHO).

It was also pretty good for the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch I found four more words for a total of 9.

“I was burdened by the litter of centuries, left around to be stared at by us modern strangers. I wondered what would be left to speak for our twentieth century after all its bombs and wars.”

Pretty deep for a book with a 5.7 reading level.
