Amazing

I liked the readers voice and the story and the author and I like the story of the titanic.

By far, the BEST Titanic book!

I listened to this all in one sitting, hissing at anyone who tried to disrupt me. I could not put it down. The narrative was spot on, and I loved the story--and the fact vs. fiction at the end. Truly, this is an amazing book!

Fascinating glimpse into a the Titanic story

I enjoyed this fictionalized account of one passenger's journey on the Titanic as indicative of the heroism many showed who were aboard that vessel.

Loved!

This was an amazing story! I couldn’t put it down! The narrator was fantastic! Amazing!

A Great Blend of Fiction & NonFiction

I really liked the story and the facts at the end the book. I will recommend this book to others.

The clear distinction of social class is evidenced throughout the plot and characterization.

I like the portrayal of Hazel and her representation of the complexities of youth with adult responsibilities. I didn’t find the investigative techniques of Hazel needed because it wasn’t realistic.

This is an OUTSTANDING book!

A young teen needs to get from England to NY to find work to help her family. She finds out that she doesn’t have enough money to get a ticket on the Titanic so she stows away. But she gets help from a young porter, a young friendless girl from first class, and a kindly old former governess. Of course she encounters some nefarious characters along the way too. Highly recommended!

The courage of Hazel Rothberry

Overall, the whole book was an amazing story. I honestly did not dislike anything. so I highly recommend you read this book because it it tells 100 lives. It’s joyful. It’s sad it gets you angry. It shows every emotion you could’ve imagined that’s why they’re really are. No problems with the book is an amazing book I think written by Jennifer Nielsen.

Relationships

Disliked nothing, loved everything, but felt the story should’ve been longer as she was rescued from the lifeboat quickly, think it would’ve been better if she had to survive for a day or two and finally reach help

I love it when she gets caught but still gets away

It was so amazing but the voice I didn’t like as much
But it was still awesome
