As he repeated the pattern for the third time, the sound of drums joined their lone drumbeat...They closed their eyes and rocked in time as the ghost singers and drummers grew louder. Matt whispered, "To the Titanic!"
Embark on an adventure of historic proportions in Lorna Spargo's exciting new children's book, Titanic Adventure.
When nine-year-old Matt is told to babysit his brother and sister while his mother researches her book about the Titanic, Matt attempts to scare his young charges by showing them an ancient family drum that supposedly has the power to transport people in time.
Unaware of the drum's real magical powers, Matt and his siblings soon find themselves on board the Titanic-mere hours before it will sink!
Protected by the drum, they get the chance to tour the ship, listen to the Titanic orchestra that famously went down with the ship, and even meet a boy named Billy, whom Matt tries to convince to leave the ill-fated vessel.
During the Titanic's final moments, Matt and his family manage to escape in the nick of time. Returning home, the siblings find that they have a newfound appreciation for life, each other, and their own unique strengths.
