"SOS Titanic" by Eve Bunting

Irish teenager Barry O’Neill is journeying to New York on the Titanic’s fateful maiden
voyage. He’s homesick and worried about the Flynn boys traveling in steerage, who
have threatened to throw him overboard. Little does Barry know that a struggle with
the Flynns is the least of the dangers that await him. This suspenseful story is based on
the true and terrible events that occurred as the Titanic sank more than a century ago on April 15, 1912.
