Unsinkable was NOT a good start to the Titanic series. It's very, very bland and slow. The plot moves like molasses. I was pretty disappointed, as I had read Gordon Korman's Chasing the Falconers series, and I loved it, so I expected this book to be just as good. The characters don't have anything about them that really stands out or makes them interesting; they're all pretty stereotypical characters. Alfie is the mostly-honest guy who just wants to make sure he doesn't get fired because of Paddy, Paddy is a stowaway who's harboring anger for two thugs who he thinks killed his friend, Sophie is the girl who's supportive all the time, and Juliana is a rich, picky, snob who will instantly have a heart change just in the nick of time. I had to force myself to read this book to the last page, as it progresses so slowly...the only part that I actually thought was good was at the end, where we get a half-decent cliffhanger. Hopefully the rest of this series will be much better, and move more quickly with the story-line. Recommended age: 10 and under.

This book was great!! I loved it!! It was so much fun to read!! The characters were really cool, and I loved how the girls could turn into superheroes!!! It was amazing!! The story was really good and I can't wait until the next one!!!!

This book is so good i read it in class and i fell in love with it it is such a good book.

awsome

Widge has the rare ability of being able to write shorthand, and when is bought by a mysterious master, Widge is given a dangerous task: steal a play from Shakespeare himself, or else. But when he starts to make friends with the crew, Widge realizes that he can't not do it and now he must craft a plan to save himself. I would recommend this for ages 10+ I read this book for homework but it was better than I expected! I would definetely recommend this. Widge's personality is well crafted and the setting is well placed. The pace is excellent and this is probably the best homework book I ever read.

This was a really nice book! I loved how Jack and Annie went back to this specific baseball game, and how they became friends with some other kids. It was also interesting to see them in a different time period, and how everything was.

This is a great read if you are wanting an accurate account of the Holocaust and World War II from two completely different viewpoints. Alfons Heck, a Hitler Youth, explains the brainwashing that took place among the German youth. Helen Waterford, a Holocaust survivor, tells of her experiences in the Holocaust.

It is a very interesting story and I think other people must read it. Because it’s about time, travel fast through history. My favourite part was Geronimo was saving a maiden from the black castle where she was locked up in a room. I would read this book again as it’s very interesting.

It was fun to see things from neanderthal's point of view and even more fun to see and read about Lucy and Andy's misadventures from mamathoth hunt's to pants-less wandering babies, this was a laugh out loud book , with facts and everything.

the fighting ground is about a 13 year old boy who wants to be in the war. so he goes in the war. The a little farther in the book he realizes he does not want to be in it. Then he is home.
