One hundred years ago this week, the Titanic left on its doomed voyage. Read about the chain of mistakes and unlikely events that led to the disaster in my just released book, What Sank the World’s Biggest Ship? And Other Questions About the Titanic.
Why was the Titanic so huge? Did all the passengers really eat off gold plates? How could an iceberg just appear out of nowhere? Here are the answers to all these and other “must-know” questions about the building, launch, and tragic sinking of the most famous ship of all time. This trivia-rich look back on that fateful night includes gripping, true information that will entice young readers.
Kirkus Review: “To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic...a new series that employs a question-and-answer format...works quite well, the questions being the ones that have so fascinated people ever since the tragedy occurred. The answers are written in clear prose full of fascinating details...Paintings, photographs, maps and a timeline complement the text to offer a fascinating account for young readers who love information. The format is irresistible, each answer just long enough to provide essential information...overall this will be a sure hit with young readers. A promising start to a new series."
