BOOK DESCRIPTION:
This action-packed big summer read focuses on the lives
of several teenage passengers aboard the ill-fated "Titanic".
Wealthy, beautiful, but headstrong Elizabeth Farr-first-class passenger on
the ill-fated Titanic-meets the man of her dreams: wealthy but rebellious
artist Max Whittaker. Betrothed to a suitable man she does not love and
prohibited from attending Vassar, Elizabeth battles her vain, foolish mother
and controlling father to freely live her life, buoyed by Max's
encouragement. In a parallel love plot in third-class, handsome Irish rogue
Paddy Kelleher and beautiful, vocally talented colleen Katie Hanrahan also
reveal their dreams and discover their love as the ocean liner sails toward
doom. Set from April 10 to April 15, 1912, Hoh's novel uses several
resources to provide good historical information with elaborate detail given
to furnishing, ship layout, and fashion. Disparities exist between the
classes in amenities and in treatment. In one scene, first-class passengers
curiously view the third-class through locked gates; in another, Elizabeth's
mother frets at third-class passengers attending the same church service.
Ironically, Elizabeth envies the gaiety of the third-class while Katie
envies the trouble-free lives of the rich. Although the pace in the
beginning is slow, the events occurring following the hitting of the iceberg
and the final moments, with people sliding into icy waters and filling the
night with a "sea of screams," are page turners. An epilogue addressing the
survivors is a nice closure. With the release of Titanic in video format and
visions of teen heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio dancing in the minds of many
YAs, this paperback is sure to delight those interested in the topic.
