Now with a bold new look! Two kids from different walks of life fight to survive the sinking of the Titanic in this gripping entry in the historical fiction middle grade Disaster series. It's April 14, 1912, Gavin Reilly is working in the Titanic's galley to earn his passage from Ireland to America. He knows when he finally joins his brother in New York they’ll live their big dreams together. Karolina Green is devastated after the loss of her parents. She’s returning home to the United States from England with her Aunt Rose and desperately dreaming of fixing her shattered life on new shores. But on a calm, clear night in April, those dreams turn into a nightmare. Rich and poor, famous and unknown, the hundreds of people aboard the Titanic find themselves at the mercy of the cold sea and the sinking ship. Few will live to remember the disaster the world still can’t forget… will Gavin and Karolina be among the survivors?
