If you know anything about me, you know how much I am OBSESSED with Titanic. So, naturally, this new trilogy had to be the first on my reading list.
And, the books held up to my expectations. Korman does a great job of blending the facts of the Titanic, from its building structure to the famous people who were on it, with the fictional stories of 4 kids: Alfie, Sophie, Julianna and Paddy. Each of these children comes from a much different background and with different reasons for being aboard the Titanic. Of course, in the end, the Titanic sinks. But you are so engrossed in the fate of the four children, that the sinking is secondary.
This trilogy only gets better as you continue reading. Murder, mystery and friendship are intertwined throughout. If you love the Titanic, you have to read these books. Even if you don't like Titanic, if you love adventure, this series will draw you in (and hopefully interest you in the Titanic).
