Summary: A Very Interesting and Informative Journey
Comment: On Board the Titanic by Shelley Tanaka

Brief Summary and Review:

The sinking of the Titanic left many people to perish; however, there were survivors who lived to bear witness to this historical tragedy. Two men, Jack Thayer and Harold Bride were Titanic passengers who lived to tell their eyewitness account. Jack Thayer, who was traveling in first class with his parents, was returning to America after vacationing in Europe. Harold Bride was an employee on the Titanic. He worked in the wireless communications office. While Harold Bride was taking reports of icebergs, Jack Thayer relaxed on board. As Jack was faced with the coming disaster on deck with his parents, Harold was diligently working to send out messages for urgent help. Both men displayed a strong commitment of brotherhood as they waited together for their rescue. They also experienced the type of bonding that occurs between men in times of tragedy. This account of the sinking of the Titanic gives the reader an introspective look through the eyes of two survivors. This book would be interesting to students in the 7th grade and above. Parents and teachers could use this book to study such concepts as safety and survival.

Summary: Great Read for All Ages
Comment: I read the book to my children, ages 8,7,5 and 4. They didn'tmove a muscle. They were so intrigued and fascinated by the story andpictures. It was a great teaching tool on bravery, heroism, foolishness and honor.
