| From Booklist
Will Titanic stowaway Paddy Burns ever get to breathe easy? Not only is he still pursued ruthlessly by the thugs who cast him aboard, the whole ship seems poised to capture him in this heart-stopping sequel to Korman’s Unsinkable. Paddy crawls into a steamer trunk to sleep, fits into ship life where he can, and trusts a couple of allies. Junior steward Alfie thinks he has spotted the mysterious Jack the Ripper on board. Young royal Juliana discovers she may be sailing toward an arranged marriage. Amid this and more drama overload: the ship seems to have hit an iceberg. Unsinkable fans will eagerly clamber on. Grades 5-8. --Anne OMalley
Review
Praise for Gordon Korman's Titanic series:
"[Korman provides] easily digestible bits of background on the Titanic, from technical details about its size and decor to the hierarchy of passengers and crew. He artfully weaves these facts into the story without sacrificing the elements of a compelling and exciting adventure tale—namely, a good dose of suspense and non-stop action...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 |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This second book in Gordon Korman's Titanic triology is a fast-paced narrative driving the reader onward just like the enormous engines of the ship itself. Chapters build to a crescendo, leaving the reader (my 8 year old and I) loathe to stop for the night and head off to bed! The first volume hooked us on the characters and their stories. The second volume continues the story of the four friends as they find themselves in a fight for suvival due to both a mysterious "gentleman" and the mortally wounded "unsinkable" liner. I highly recommend this volume (as well as the first). We will be starting the third tonight. |
