Gr 3—5—In this entertaining blend of fiction and nonfiction, readers have the choice of a voyage on the Titanic as a boy, a maid, or a ship's officer. In Storm Chasing, they get to decide if they'd rather face a hurricane, tornado, or flash flood. Each story path has many choices and a plethora of endings—and not all are happy. These are fast reads that will have students turning the pages back and forth until they think they've reached every permutation possible. The photos are bright, vivid, and exciting, and the books are graphically appealing.—Esther Keller, I.S. 278, Marine Park, NY
In this Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style book, readers select a persona--surgeon's assistant, governess, or twelve-year-old boy--and make decisions at narrative crossroad points. Though the information is limited, the text packs in many details about the ship, supported by archival reproductions. The active-learning approach will engage students while demonstrating how individuals' choices or social standings made the difference between life and death. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
