Flashback Four: The Titanic Mission by Dan Gutman Audiobook: 4 hours, 34 mins Hardback Book: 240 pages
A fun story regarding four 6th graders who time travel back to the night the Titanic sank in order to get a photo of the ship going down for an eccentric billionairess/ technology savant. There are so many things that happen and I could picture all the adventures the kids like I was watching it on a screen in my head. There are times when they get a little annoying and you think o.k. kids would do grating things like that and say things off the cuff that would rankle adults. Sometimes they lean toward the unethical but all in all it was a good story and it is almost like you are running a race with them hoping they make it back before the ship goes down. The ending was a total surprise. This book is part of a series so I am definetly going to have to read all of them to hear more of their adventure. A good story so good the characters actually made me side against them at times.
