Iceberg

By Jennifer Nielsen
Level 7
Review:

Iceberg by Jennifer Nielsen is a unique story about the Titanic from the perspective of a young girl who sneaks on as a stowaway. The girl hopes to make it to America to live with her aunt and give her family a better life back home. Come along as Hazel sneaks onto the Titanic, makes friends, learns about the ship, explores what it means to be a part of different social classes, and eventually sees the ship below her feet begin to sink. Please note that the story does make it seem acceptable that Hazel snuck on the ship since she had no other way to get to America.
