Review

A cracking narrativeObserver

A gem . . . Just the ticket for readers of 7+The Times

It isnt just Morpurgos mastery of storytelling and Foremans knack with elegant detail that children lap up: its the way they click together like a toy . . . Unlike the doomed liner, the action never flounders . . . A beguiling story . . . Both Michaels offer readers a trip as long and eventful as that of their hero, Johnny TrottIndependent

An emotional and compelling read bringing the story of the Titanic vividly to life . . . Wonderful LoveReading4Kids

Morpurgo is the king of storytelling and this one wont disappointNewsround
