I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis

Some ships you never forget. And for young readers, few voyages are as unforgettable as this one.

Meet George Calder, who might just be the luckiest kid alive. He and his little sister, Phoebe, are sailing with their aunt aboard the Titanic—the grandest ship ever built. George can’t help but explore every gleaming inch of her, even when curiosity lands him in a spot of trouble.

Then, one night, a terrible boom shakes the whole vessel. And the impossible begins to happen. The Titanic is sinking.

George has always found a way out of trouble before. But can he survive this?
