This book is about a young boy who experiences survival skills during the sinking of the Titanic. I enjoyed this book because describes to children what happened during that time but on their level. I would recommend this book for grades 3-6.

Book description

She's unsinkable. Everyone knows that."

It was a ship bigger and better than anything the world had ever seen. Albert had been reading about the ocean liner while he was staying in England. And now he had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to sail aboard the Titanic. It was the ship that would take him back home to America.

Albert believed what he'd read. That this ship was the safest vessel on the sea: Nothing could sink her. Until the Titanic hits an iceberg, and does begin to sink. Now Albert is faced with decisions he's never had to make before. Grown-up decisions. Decisions that might actually save his life . . .
