historical perspective, and dynamic illustrations.-- "Book

This is a gripping story told through the eyes of 12-year-old
Titanic survivor Ruth Becker. The horror of that night is conveyed
believably by both the prose and the shocking drama illustrating
the ship going down in icy, dark waters. Ruth's story was not
revealed until years later as she could not speak about her ordeal.
. . .Ruth is beautifully illuminated to stand out in the lifeboat
as her story stands out in the crowd of Titanic 100th anniversary
commemoratives. The chronology is cleverly printed on White Star
Line stationery, and the afterword, with a photograph of young Ruth
Becker, is very moving. . . .this biographical story is ideal as a
read-aloud. Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection"
