It seems almost everyone aboard the Titanic have something to hide. Now that the crew knows there is a stowaway on board Paddy is desperate for a place to hide. Alfie has discovered a horrifying secret about another passenger. Juliana's father finally reveals the reason she has come on this business trip with him, and Sophie wishes her suffragette mother would stop alienating the other guests. In the meantime the Titanic continues on its doomed journey.
The Titanic hits the iceberg is this entry, but that is practically background compared to the other action and intrigue happening. In fact there's almost too many things happening in this story, the Jack the Ripper storyline is especially unnecessary. Otherwise it's as fast-paced as the first, and leaves the reader eager for the final installment.

This was another read for my homebound student. I dare say I enjoyed reading all three books in the series. It made me realize I don't know about the Titanic and should probably some non fiction titles about it! A very quick read, but enjoyable.

Such and improvement since the last book! Probably because I was actually in the mood to read it haha. Anyways, it took me less than 24 hours to read this because of how intriguing I found it!
The characters are super likable in my opinion (other than Sophie... sorry I just had to say it) But I love Paddy, Julie, and Alfie. Though in my opinion, I loved Paddy the most bro. Imagine being someone poor who steals and STILL have a good heart. Ahhhh.
The cliff hanger at the end made my jaw drop. I'll start reading the third book today!! A finish to a series, yay! I'm sad to see this series go but at the same time, I wanna see if theres a HEA of something sad that's worth me crying over.

SUMMARY: AMAZING character (Ily Paddy), super good plot, so much better than the first book, and a great cliff hanger if that motivates you to read the next book.
See you in my next review haha

Quite enjoyable. Better than the first since it started already with things happening. Love the characters, they are great. Can't wait to see how it plays out.... besides the sinking of course. :)

Jake’s Review:
Mom: Jake seriously I think you should read this, its really kind of exciting.
Jake: Mom, you promised.
Mom: I know but you know what I think you should try. Tell ya what give it 5 chapters and if you don’t like it I will go buy you the next beast quest book.
Jake: Mom are you bribing me?
Mom: Yup totally. See how all this reading has made you so smart.
2 Days Later
Jake: It’s pretty scary and a little creepy but you are right, I wanted to keep reading it. There was tons of action and I really liked how smart the kids were and how dumb the adults were. Didn’t like reading it at night though since the Jack the Ripper guy was kinda creepy. Want to find out more about Jack the Ripper and the Titanic disaster, can we look up some stuff on the Internet? So since I finished reading it will you still buy me the Beast Quest.
Mom: Ok, so since you told me I was right, I will definitely buy you a new book. Now go tell your father that mom was right
Jake’s Rating:8.5/10 (just a little too scary and sad for my tastes)
Mom’s Review: This really was a fantastic read for the middle school reader. Lots of thrills and chills and smart kids solving things without bumbling adults getting in the way. History and moral questions thrown in such a subtle way kids won’t know they are learning things. This is such a treat with middle school fiction because you want to instill in kids the love of reading but at the same time teach them things and make them think. Korman really has a talent here and I can see why he sells tons of books. Ok guys this involves the Titanic so pretty much I am prejudice towards liking it. I promised Jake I wasn’t going to make him read this, but I think he will really enjoy it. Don’t want to give away too much but this story involves some interesting theories on the identity of Jack the Ripper and also how the disaster could have been prevented. Lighttoller really comes across as a jerk which differs from some of my reading. Love it, love it. Can’t wait to read the final part of the story.
Mom’s Rating: 10/10

Okay, this is great aside from the whole "Jack the Ripper" subplot and all the times I can't help picturing the '97 film. Still an enjoyable read, especially for a Titanic enthusiast such as myself.
