Summary: This nonfiction book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the Titanic. Some of the information the book tells you includes, how they built the ship, the day everyone boarded the ship, the types of people that were on the ship, and finally how the boat sank. I also enjoyed the pictures in the book. Some of the pictures were of the rooms, the details of the ship, and the boiling room.

My reaction: Titanic is a great book. It has a lot of good facts: The Titanic sank in 1912. You'll like this book. It has important facts about the Titanic. It helps you to do research. The Titanic is fun to read, you'll keep reading until you're done.
