SOS Titanic
by Eve Bunting


Review by: Corey Ann
Rating: 10 and up
Score: 3 1/2 out of 5

This story is spun around a fifteen year old boy's trip to America onboard the Titanic. Barry has left his grandparents whom have taken care of him for most of his young life to be reunited with his parents in America. Along with Barry is his paid guardian, Scollins. Also on board is the Flynn family, whom with Barry is acquainted with.

Barry is traveling in First class, but cannot help but keep himself from steerage where it is more exciting. Steerage also beholds Pegeen Flynn, whom Barry holds a secret crush for. However, Pegeen's brothers despise Barry for his wealth, and taint Pegeen's mind against him.

However, the iceberg strikes, and everything changes for all on board. Barry must decide if the Flynn boys are worth saving, and if he is willing to risk Pegeen's life along with her brothers. Some will live, and some will die. Much like that fateful night.

This book is a fictional work, and is not based on any true stories from any survivors. However, Barry does interact with some "real" people whom were on the ship, bringing this book to life with their anecdotes. I recommend this book to any young adult or Titanic enthusiast.
