HTML: Fascinating fictional retelling of the events that led to the tragedy of the Titanic, based on documents from the National Archives. A boy works in the dockyard where the Titanic is being built, then gets a job on the ship. As he witnesses a series of mistakes, short-cuts and bad decisions, he becomes more and more worried about what could happen. But he's preoccupied by his rivalry with a fellow ship's boy and doesn't realise the full scale of what's happening until it's too late... .Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Don't get me wrong; I'm not particularly prudish. It's just that, at almost-51, I feel that I've fully explored that level of psycho-social development.
That said, I keep picking up YA books without realizing that's what I've gotten. This is one such. Unlike most others, I actually really liked it, which means it's probably doomed for a real teen audience.
Things I liked:
* While a fictional account, it hews closely to actual events. It is, after all, associated with the British National Archives.
* It focuses on the Titanic, not girls on the Titanic, or what the boys were wearning. Sheesh.
* It feels true, somehow. As if this is something that could happen.
So, yeah, if you want to give a kid a book that might encourage him or her to look into a historical event, this would be a good one. If you're looking for the next Harry Potter or Hunger Games, this is almost certainly not it. ( )
