Reviews

Will Titanic stowaway Paddy Burns ever get to breathe easy? Not only is he still pursued ruthlessly by the thugs who cast him aboard, the whole ship seems poised to capture him in this heart-stopping sequel to Korman’s Unsinkable. Paddy crawls into a steamer trunk to sleep, fits into ship life where he can, and trusts a couple of allies. Junior steward Alfie thinks he has spotted the mysterious Jack the Ripper on board. Young royal Juliana discovers she may be sailing toward an arranged marriage. Amid this and more drama overload: the ship seems to have hit an iceberg. Unsinkable fans will eagerly clamber on. Grades 5-8. --Anne OMalley
