Book Review: Escaping Titanic

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ruth, a twelve-year-old girl, is excited about going on the new cruise ship, the Titanic. But on one terrible night, her excitement vanishes. As the ship is breaking, her mother and siblings are safe on a lifeboat. But she is still on deck. Will she get to safety? Will she be left on the boat?

This true story is very inspiring for me. The young girl faces a terribly hard night when her siblings and mother have to leave her on the Titanic. But she has faith. She prays and asks God to help her. The story’s moral is that you have to have faith in God and he will help you through trials and hard times.

Escaping Titanic is written for children, and the colorful artwork will keep their attention. The author has won many awards for the children’s and biographical books she’s written. The illustrator who did such a great job at capturing the excitement of this story is Kory S. Heinzen.
