Book Description:
Monday, 15 April 1912
It was after midnight, and I could still hear people moving about in the passageway. Before I had time to go out and join them, there was a sharp knock on my door. I opened it to see Robert. He was smiling, but his eyes looked urgent.
"Good evening, Miss Brady," he said. "You need to put on something warm, and report to the boat deck with your life belt."
Miss Brady? When I heard that, I felt alarmed for the first time, but I was also startled...
"A routine drill," he said. "No need to fret."
I knew he needed to get on with his duties, so I found a smile for him and nodded...Robert started for the next stateroom, but then stopped.
"You'll not want to take your time, Margaret," he said in a very quiet voice.
It did not seem possible - but maybe this was not a drill.

I've enjoyed using the dear american series for homeschooling. They give a good background of the times in history.

Very interesting and quick read. This young lady kept a diary and it is written very well as to her experiences from her young life and then of course her first hand account of the sinking of the Titanic. Very good. It certainly affected her life and you felt as though you were there watching what was going on. Such a tragedy!

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.

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.

Brenda R. (Another great Dear America book with some very nice historical pictures of the time.
This is a true story from Margaret Ann Brady, a passenger aboad the Titanic.
I read this book three times as a kid, it was exciting and I fell in love with the guy in it. Would recommend for 6th grade girls.
