Book Review By SM Tate
SOS Titanic by Eve Bunting

Barry has just bored the Titanic, the unsinkable ship, and is now making new friends with people below his class. Pegeen and her brothers, the Flynn boys, are steerage passengers from his village in Ireland. They had, at first, wanted to throw him overboard, but things change quickly.
In fact, things change so quickly that in just an hour, Barry goes from having fun with his new friends and dreaming of his new life to frantically searching for Pegeen and her brothers. The unsinkable ship has hit an ice berg. And it's sinking.
But the Flynn's are steerage passengers, and all the steerage passengers are trapped behind gates in the basement. Barry won't let them die- that is, if he can get to them on time.
