    I purchased this as a gift for my nephew. He was excited to read it since it was a book about time travel to the Titanic era and from a child’s point of view.

    "Stowaways" picks up where Book #1 in the Return to Titanic series left off... the 2nd day of Spring Break. All Maya and Tucker want to do is get the chance to visit the Titanic again.

    The author is doing such a good job with this series by showcasing some of the important historical figures concerning the Titanic's story. I enjoyed how Book #2 shows young readers how large the ship really was, by telling of Maya and Tucker's adventure on board. It also accurately captures the essence of 1912 finery and fashion, and then comparing it to how the 3rd-class passengers were poorly treated and restricted.

    Overall, a very cool book that kids will enjoy learning from (whether they realize it or not!)

    Titanic children's books were everywhere at the point of the anniversary, and I have read quite a few of them now. They're short and simple, but at the same time, quite informative. This one, however, has been split into four separate books (reading order included at the end of the review), so you really will need to read them back to back, to get the full effect, as it's a bit of a let down otherwise.

    This is illustrated by Scott Murphy, with quite detailed pencil-style drawings throughout. Scott has done quite well to stick to the storyline, and tie in the pictures to the main storyline, and remain consistent.

    Steve Brezenoff has written a good, well researched storyline, which centres around Tucker and Maya, who are holiday from school, and having to help out Tucker's mum in the museum. They find a mystery box of Titanic artefacts, of which there are no records of - the box contains a cancelled Titanic ticket, a battered and worn lifejacket, a teacup, and a broken violin. In the first book, they touched the ticket, which took them back to the Titanic leaving Queenstown. They figure that touching another item, might take them back to a different point in time, so they put off touching the lifejacket, for obvious reasons.

    The teacup takes them back in time to a very busy dining room, on the evening of April 14th 1912. They are heading back to find their "friend" Liam Kearney. I use the term friend lightly, as they really only met Liam, and tried to get him and his family from boarding the Titanic. So Liam and his family probably think Tucker and Maya are a little bit "daft" now. But Tucker feels a strange connection to Liam ...

    Each chapter is separated by a map, pinpointing where Maya and Tucker are at that point in time - this goes between New York, Queenstown, and the middle of the Atlantic.

    The book ends at page 104, with the Titanic hitting the iceberg and leaves it annoyingly open ended, to continue onto the next book in the series. With each book, there is a brief passenger manifest at the back, each featuring a real life character. The previous book was John Coffey, a fireman who deserted his post in Queenstown, due to a dream he'd had. This book is Violet Jessop, who appears towards the end of the book, to look after the two stowaways. You can read more about Violet in her own biography.

    It is an excellent book if you want to get your kids interested in the Titanic, or reading as an adult, if that is where your interests lie. Just make sure that you have the next book ready to go, otherwise you will have a very disappointed child/adult!
