WHAT LED TO THE FAMOUS DISASTER? HOW MANY PASSENGERS SURVIVED? WHAT DOES TITANIC LOOK LIKE NOW? See Titanic’s construction, meet the passengers and crew that were on board, and discover the deep watery home of the shipwreck, more than two miles below the ocean’s surface. Ages 6+
Why this is a nice pick for kids: Julia Garstecki has written 70+ nonfiction books for young readers and has formal training in how children learn and understand nonfiction (a B.A. in Education from Michigan State University and an M.S. in Literacy from SUNY Fredonia).

Separate part of her background: In addition to her youth nonfiction work, she has also written dozens of articles for parents of children with special needs—an adjacent, different kind of writing experience that rounds out her nonfiction credentials.
