Synopsis

*From the bestselling author of Darwin's Dragons*

and My Friend the Octopus comes an exciting
historical adventure - with a touch of magic - set
aboard the Titanic ...**

'[A] compelling adventure ... Superb.' THE TIMES,
BOOK OF THE WEEK

Young cabin steward, Sid, is proud to be working on the Titanic,
the greatest stream liner ever built.

Clara dreams of adventure at sea, and discovers it the hard way
as a stowaway on a much smaller ship, the Carpathia.

Here, she meets a giant bear of a dog: Rigel, who has a reputation
for mischief.

What none of them can foresee is how they'll need each other on
the night Titanic collides with an iceberg.

Or that an even more extraordinary creature might also answer
their call ...

  • The third middle-grade historical adventure from the
    author of Darwin's Dragons and My Friend the Octopus

  • A new spin on the sinking of the Titanic, offering an
    uplifting alternate history of real-life survivor, Sid Daniels

  • A touching animal friendship lies at the heart of the
    story, as well as hints of mythology

  • Showcases Lindsay Galvin's trademark combination of exciting
    adventure, real-life history and a magical twist
