In her diary in 1912, thirteen-year-old Margaret Ann describes how she leaves her lonely life in a London orphanage to become a companion to a wealthy American woman, sails on the Titanic, and experiences its sinking.

I really enjoyed this book. I love to read anything on the Titanic and I would love for my children to read this when they get a few years older as a way to understand the tragedy of the Titanic.

I really enjoy these "Dear America" books. They are a nice, light read, no matter what your age. This particular book is about Margaret Ann Brady, a young orphan hired as a traveling companion for a wealthy lady. This allows Margaret to go to the USA so she can be reunited with her brother, who left to make more money in the States to help support them. Margaret gets to travel on the Titanic in first class, and things are wonderful for her during the early days of the trip. She enjoys delicious food, she meets a nice young steward named Robert, and witnesses a lifestyle far removed from what she was used to in the orphanage. But nothing could prepare her for the choices that she would have to make on that fateful "night to remember" when the Titanic hit an iceberg.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It doesn't hurt that I've been fascinated by the story of the Titanic since I was a young girl. This particular book spends more time on how Margaret got to be on the Titanic and what the journey was like before it hit the iceberg, rather than the actual sinking itself. Still, it was a quick and enjoyable read.
