Iceberg

Jennifer A. Nielson has done it again. 

This time we follow the journey of a stowaway on the Titanic, which means we know the ending from the beginning, which kept me in suspense the whole time. 

Every time a new character was introduced on the page I wondered, "Will they be alive at the end of the book or not?" knowing that it was unlikely that everyone would survive. 

As always, Ms. Nielson is impeccable with her research and weaves in the details of that fateful night without coming across like a boring history lecture. 

I can always trust Ms. Nielson to write complex characters with heart that I can relate to. 

So many factors went into that failed sailing. 

If you want to learn about the Titanic in an engaging way, this is the right book. Excellent for both teens and adults. 

I recommend the audiobook.
