If you were a fan of the Everest series or Island series then you will be happy to know that Gordon Korman has gone back to that trilogy style that works so well for him.
Unsinkable was an exciting read - we all know how the story of the Titanic ends, but do we know some of the other stories that she might have had? Korman does an excellent job of entertaining and educating his readers along this fateful journey aboard the Titanic. Adventure lurks around just about every corner of the huge ship and you find yourself caught up in the lives of Paddy a stowaway, Alfie who's hiding a secret that could get him thrown off the ship, Sophie who is desperately trying to distance herself from her unbearable mother and Juliana who's father is quickly losing all their riches. These four teens find themselves bonding in friendships that never would have happened on solid land. Oh and I should mention -- the murderer of Whitechapel - aka Jack the Ripper might also be on board...
