Most people have heard the story of the Titanic, yet there will be many who do not know of the involvement of Carpathia; I know I didn’t. The book brings an added dimension to Titanic’s story, remembering and celebrating the efforts of others.

The format of the book makes it very user-friendly; facts and illustrations intertwine to lead the reader through the important information. Specific vocabulary is clearly explained, key crew members are named and celebrated and there is a helpful glossary. One element that was particularly useful was a clock on most pages, showing how the events unfolded over a short period of time.

This book would be an excellent companion to any work around the Titanic. Having the opportunity to explore the history from a different point of view brings an alternative and wider perspective to the historical information already known and would broaden children’s understanding of the event.
