Iceberg

This suspenseful account of the Titanic disaster is both exciting and educational. Hazel, an aspiring author from Poland, finds out that the huge amount of money her family saved to send her to America is insufficient for a ticket to America. Desperate, she stows away. As she makes friends, avoids the authorities, and uncovers a mystery, she also takes notes on everything she observes and learns in hopes of writing a news article to pay for her passage. I loved the plot and also learned some new facts about types of icebergs and the extremely rare situation the Titanic ran into.

Rating: 5/5 stars.
