Titanic book three S.O.S




The titanic is sinking and the ship is in utter most terror the captain did not tell the passengers what was fully going on and the lower class are being told to stay bellow but Paddy leads a group of them up any way.
 Some people get on the under adequate amount of life boats but the rest are left to die, Juliana makes it to one but paddy Sophie and Alfie are not so lucky they all make it to a ship in the end but tragedy steps in on Alfie (worst part of the book)

This book happens while the Titanic is sinking and then after as the survivors make a new life for them selves.
 There is a twist to the ending.


Amelia Bronson= a suffragist, in every sens of that word but she is nice and cares for people like her daughter Sophie.
She is a bit stupid sometimes (suffragist don't seam to get that when a man offers his arm or offers for her to go first or wants to protect her is because he respect them and values them very high.

Thomas Andrews=  is nice and treats Paddy like a gentleman.
 He didn't think the titanic was totally indestructible.

Well this is the end of this series I hope you read them, they do not disappoint.

Titanic Book Two Collision course.




So book two of titanic by Gordon Korman.
Paddy is still on the Titanic and is still hunted by Gillhooley but this time he has three friends Alfie, Juliana and Sophie.
But Alfie and Paddy find out there is also a killer on board Jack the ripper!
 Out of action for years due to crippled legs he is on the titanic because at its destination there is someone who might be able to fix his legs.
But Sophie not believing the boys try's to make friends with the crippled man.
It didn't work he attempts to kill her but something much worse happens.


This one is also very well done, the characters are well developed and fun.
 And the bad guy is a really good bad guy.

Image result for titanic

Juliana= Is a rich daughter of an earl, but her father is in a bad position with his money, partly because he gables a lot.
Juliana finds to her dismay that he is going to marry her of to a rich american.
Never had she felt so alone.


Sophie= daughter of a suffragist mother, Sophie is kind to those below her status.


Jack the ripper= he is creepy and just plain mad but very deadly.


So yet again I suggest you read this wonderful book, I listened to the audio book.
Maybe I should do a negative review soon.

Titanic book one



This book follows the story of a young boy of 14 (my age!!) Paddy.
Paddy and his friend Daniel are street urchins and have to steel to stay alive in Belfast.
It was just another rich pocket that they stole from or so they thought but the person they stole from was not just a ordinary rick man, no this was Mr. Gillhooley a murderous thug ,
But not knowing this Paddy tried spending the money but was outwitted and Paddy barely escapes with his life, after being ambushed with his friend denial just bellow the titanic paddy managed to crawl into a cargo crate after being badly hurt but all that he could see of Danial was a puddle of blood.
 Danial was dead and Paddy was loaded onto the Titanic with the cargo, a stowaway.

This is a truly awesome book.
 Its different because its not just your ordinary fantasy book, its good because yes the characters are fantasy and the story line is made up but the facts are real,
Its based on the Titanic's voyage from a bit before taking of and then to a bit after the ice bergs.
This is not about the movie.


Paddy= Is awesome partly because he is Irish and then because he is a talented thief and is fun.

Alfie= Is a loyal young steward on the titanic who soon becomes Paddy's friend.


Gillhooley= Is a very good villain he just makes you want to Punch him,
 He doesn't give up easily


So I hope you enjoyed this post and I advise you to read this book very soon.
Its one in a trilogy.

The Land of Stories, The Wishing Spell.






So another review but a different series.
The Land of Stories is a fairy tale based story set in the modern day world well sort of.
 Its about twin brother and sister named Conner and Alex and how they somehow enter the fairy tale world after the fairy tales have happened.
Finding out that there only way home is a list of things that will grant a wish but it can be only used once more, but the evil queen from snow white has a different idea for the wishing spell that she has been working on since before snow white, so you get a back story on her.
Going across the land of stories collecting these things a lot of things happen to the twins, like getting caught by goblins an trolls and finding out things that they would never have thought possible.

This is a very light entertaining book that has a good story line, although there are a few bits that are a bit inappropriate, but are only very small and only like twice.
Other then that it is great,
Any way I really like it and there are two other books out plus two more on the way.
It is a bit slow to start with but is worth it.

Alex= Is the ultimate main character, she just an ordinary girl who is a bookworm.

Conner= Messy, Lazy,but is alright.

Frogie= Is sweet and cares about his Friends, he is who starts the twins on their way.



There are a lot more characters but they are not getting a section about themselves.
So this is a very good book and I recommend it to those who love fairy tales or light fantasy or just like reading. TTFN ta ta for now.
