Story of the Titanic (DK History)

Product Information

Anyway, I especially loved Roxanne because I’ve always loved Old Hollywood and old movies (much like Elisha in Keystone ).

His family couldn’t afford to bring him home to Dumfries in Scotland, so he was buried alongside 121 other unclaimed Titanic bodies at Fairview Lawn Cemetery, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.I recognise there are a lot of great ones out there and I’m glad the genre has expanded in scope EXPONENTIALLY since I was a teenager, but 99% of the time when I sit down to read a YA book these days, I struggle and I wind up giving up. In a brief final chapter covering several years, Rowland progresses from homeless and largely anonymous fisherman to a desk job and finally, two years after passing a civil service exam, to "a lucrative position under the Government". This book, which I also borrowed from my brother, is a collection of hundreds of snippets of letters, newspaper articles, diary entries, and other sources, the voices of people connected with the disaster. Well, Stacey Lee gives it a totally fresh approach from the point of view of a young Chinese-English teen, Valora Luck. What’s it about: Several passengers on board the Titanic think it might be haunted, and four years later onboard the Britannic two of them will meet again, but are we sure they both survived the Titanic?

For my part, my interest in the Titanic was already bubbling just below the surface when James Cameron’s blockbuster hit, Titanic, hit theatres in the summer of 1997. Who will enjoy this book: The Dressmaker is a proper romance, through and through, so fans of drama and romantic tension will have much to enjoy. But when the passengers are woken on a freezing night in April 1912, she finds herself caught up in an unimaginable nightmare. Who will enjoy this book: Although there is light adventure and mystery, at its heart this is a book about books and their significance, so if that’s your thing, add this to your pile of must-read Titanic books!The book includes full length colour photos, and even the exact location of the Titanic’s final resting spot.
