"Tonight on the Titanic" a Magic Tree House Book #17 by Mary Pope Osborne

RATING: Thumbs Up!


REVIEW: 
      I LOVE this book!  It is a great book to suggest for young readers.  It isn't your typical easy to read boring book.  It is filled with action and suspense.  I am going to make sure to order this series in my library this year.  This particular story has Jack and his sister Annie experience the terror and chaos of the sinking Titanic!  The siblings travel in time as the magic of the tree house takes them to the time and place of any book they read while in there.  This is a historical fiction book that covers several details of that fatal night. Jack and Annie learn just how scary it was to be on that ship that night.  They are also able to save a young boy and girl from sinking into the sea as they safely place them on an emergency escape boat.  Annie and Jack almost lose their lives as well when they return to their tree house on the ship but find it missing.  They fear that they will soon die but fortunately their dog leads them to the magical tree house and they are safely back at home with tears of gratitude in their eyes and sadness of the lives that were lost on that historic night.
