Review Praise for Gordon Korman's Titanic series: "Though best known and loved for his humorous books, Korman has proven here, as he has with the other adventure series he's penned, that he is far from a one-trick pony." ― Quill & Quire "[Korman] knows how to spin a lively and engaging tale. Hanging it on an already fascinating, albeit tragic, slice of history means it wins on all levels: a thrilling account of a heart-stopping disaster, and a set of fictional characters seamlessly intertwined with real life." ― The Montreal Gazette "Korman manages to tell the story of the Titanic smoothly while also introducing other elements of the early twentieth century...Altogether an enjoyable read that makes this tragic story come alive with personal narratives." ― Resource Links "Highly Recommended" ― Canadian Review of Materials Praise for Gordon Korman's Titanic series: "Though best known and loved for his humorous books, Korman has proven here, as he has with the other adventure series he's penned, that he is far from a one-trick pony." ― Quill & Quire "[Korman] knows how to spin a lively and engaging tale.

They stood four deep on the afterdeck of the Carpathia, chilled to the bone, staring out at nothing. Dark water, light swells―no evidence that barely seven hours before, the largest and most magnificent ship the world had ever seen had sailed there in all her glory. The truth was nearly impossible to believe: The RMS Titanic lay at the bottom of the sea, along with everyone who sailed in her, save the 706 souls rescued and now aboard the Carpathia."Look!"The cry energized the exhausted throng. A flash of color among the endless waves.A survivor?And then the swell turned over the item that stirred their frozen hearts with momentary hope. A deck chair. Nothing more.
