I was really looking forward to reading this book but was left a little disappointed. It was really lacking if it was trying to be a historical fiction, and not fantastic enough to be a fantasy novel. ( )

Two young, time traveling teenagers need to return to the Titanic to rescue their friend from the frigid water and retrieve a modern cell phone. This particular book is number four in a series so if you haven't been reading from the beginning, the author does no reminding of the story so far. The story resumes apparently right where the previous book left off. Tucker and Maya have been helping to build a Titanic exhibit at a museum and certain items from the collection have allowed them to time travel to the actual Titanic. In terms of historical fiction, the novel gives plenty of details about the sinking of the Titanic and there is a section at the end that is a person profile and an artifact profile. Language and text is appropriate for Middle School aged children. The illustrations are blue toned and done in a pen and ink style. Children interested in disasters, life at sea, and/or history will enjoy the series, but they should be read in order as readers will be lost in the story if they don't start with book one. Recommended. ( )
