Albert Trask couldn't be more excited. Thirteen years old, he's leaving cold, dreary London to return home to Washington, D.C. Even more thrilling, he's sailing on the most luxurious ocean liner in the world: the unsinkable Titanic! But not everything is perfect. Albert's widowed mother seems too distracted to pay any attention to her children, so Albert finds himself stuck looking after his snotty six-year-old sister, Ginny. And even though Albert's old enough now to wear long trousers, everyone still treats him like a little kid. But when the unthinkable happens and the Titanic hits an iceberg, Albert is faced with big decisions: grown-up decisions that could mean life or death. Seamlessly weaving historical fact with great story-telling, Barbara Williams has created a gripping adventure about the responsibilities that come with growing up. Narrator Jeff Woodman skillfully captures the tragedy and heroism of a night the world will long remember
