Braving the Titanic A Tossed through Time Adventure Book 1 eBook Jennifer McAndrews Reviews
Kade has been fascinated by all things Titanic since he heard the story of how his grandfather was lucky enough to avoid being on the ship. So when a Titanic Exhibition comes to the museum in NY, he wants to see it, even if it means joining the dorky school history club to get in. Simon is also into the Titanic and a keen member of the history club. The two boys end up slipping back through time together and find themselves on the ship itself, returning to past lives. They desperately try to think of a way to stop the disaster and as the days and hours tick past, the tension mounts. This is a tense and exciting time travel tale about two teenagers, the tough kid and the geeky kid, who would not normally be friends, but pull together and find friendship and learn more about themselves and what is important in life, all the while living a memorable event in history. The descriptions of the ship were wonderful, and I was right back there with them on board. A great adventure for all readers, young and old.
Two teenage boys, opposite personalities find themselves fighting to survive in another time and place. And what time and place is that? The Titanic in 1912. Finding themselves far from their present, locked in a dangerous past, these two boys have to reconcile the past with their present which is the future.
A wonderful time travel adventure.
Braving the Titanic, released just in time for the 100th anniversary of the historic ship's ill-fated voyage, is so vividly-described that I felt I was truly on the ship. I could smell the sea air, hear the creaking and grinding of the ship as she was sinking, see the intricate details of the woodwork, cabins, and elegant evening wear.
Anyone who likes a good, suspenseful story will love this adventure on the high seas! I loved the growing friendship between Kade and Simon, their courage and determination.
I enjoyed this story immensely and look forward to J.A. McAndrews's next novel!
MY REVIEW
I must say that even though this book is aimed at children I still enjoyed reading it. I would have loved this as a child and I know my daughter would have loved this book at a younger age too.
Sure it has some facts and figures about the Titanic in it, as well as descriptions of what the Titanic would have looked like in its era. It also has the relationship between the two boys that are transported back in time to being on the Titanic. Kade is kind of a rough, trouble causer labelled boy, where Simon is the good boy or geek/nerd of the class. So it is amusing when the coach who is leading the school trip pair them up. I think that Coach Haber is hoping that geeky good boy simon will keep Kade from causing trouble and getting into things he shouldn't. It doesn't work quite like that as when Kade goes off on his own "tour" in the museum simon is kind of dragged along, which is why they are both somehow transported back to the Titanic. The book also deals with class systems in the Titanic era as well as in the present day. The fact that Kade and Simon are the same age, yet when it came to life boats Simon (a passenger) with his parents was allowed to board a lifeboat with his mother and yet Kade the same age is set to work with not a thought to his safety. Kade was not put on the lifeboat as because he was working class he was considered "a man" at a younger age. Kade in the present day is in his own way fighting to prove he is grown up and a man, yet after his experience on the Titanic he realises that " the grass is not greener on the other side". In other words he should enjoy being a kid and not rush to grow up to be a man so quickly.
I enjoyed the fact we saw both sides of the ship, the posh, upper class,opulent, passengers side and the poorer lower class workers side.
This book is so well written, it flows easily and I found myself wondering what would happen next and would the two boys get back to the present day or actually die on the Titanic!
The two boys also face the difficult decision of "should they try to change history?"
You will have to read the book to find out what actually happens. I loved the inclusion of the kennels, as I have found that the animals on the great ship are rarely mentioned.
I would say this book would appeal to both boys and girls alike. I would definitely recommend it, I could also imagine it been read in schools at "story time" to perhaps younger children. especially as its the 100 years since the tragedy.
I also wish to add that how the book ended suggests that Kade and Simon may have further Adventures coming up. I would certainly keep an eye out for more!
