By teasing out the mysteries around why and how the ship sank, Halls has crafted a gripping nonfiction tale for young readers. Was it cost-cutting on rivets or a coal fire that weakened the hull where the iceberg struck? Was the ship going too fast, or did a thermal inversion caused by warm and cold currents colliding make it hard to see the obstacle? One thing is for sure: young readers with a taste for disaster (and mysteries) will gobble this book right up.\" \n\u003cstrong\u003e--Bruce Hale, author of \u003cem\u003eClark the Shark\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUncover the secrets of the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e in this fascinating exploration for kids 8 to 12\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're interested in the incredible story of the R.M.S. \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e, this book helps you dive even deeper.
