Jane, Sarah Maiden Voyage, 256 pages. Scholastic, JULY 2018. $10.
Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG (drowning victims
mentioned)
Lucy, Abby, and Isabella are all passengers on the beautiful
new Titanic. Isabella doesn’t know why
her parents have bundled her onto the ship, handed her a mysterious letter, and
said goodbye like it’s forever. Abby has
boarded as the servant of Lucy and the rest of the Miles family, in her
mother’s place, but the Mileses don’t know that she has also smuggled her
little brother on board. Lucy’s father
has never been cuddly, but right now he is more distracted and more instantly
cruel than ever before. If fate can
bring the three girls together to share their challenges, perhaps they can also
together solve their problems. What they
don’t know is that fate has an even much crueler surprise in store for them.
Jane integrates the girls’ secrets into a look at the doomed
voyage. Most of my Titanic fiction books
have aged out of the collection, so this is a sweet little addition.
