AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
You are the main character in this trip on
the Titanic. At the beginning of the
book you have a choice on whether or not you want to be a stowaway, crew member
or passenger. Depending on your choice,
you follow a storyline and have to complete different tasks to get to the end
of the story to find out if you survive.
The stories include a crew member who has to help a wealthy family, a
stowaway who is chased throughout the ship and eventually works to shovel coal
and a passenger who is along with his musician father.
This book is a combination of Choose Your Own
Adventure and Wreck this Journal. There
are different paths that the reader can take that lead to success or failure
and there are certain activities that you must rip pages or complete
puzzles. For an activity book, this is
fun, but for a story there is too much going on.
Reviewer, C. Peterson.
