Luck of the Titanic

Really enjoyed reading this! Like many children of the 90s I feel like I know a lot about the Titanic experience but seeing it from the POV of a smart, class-shifting, biracial circus performer was definitely new. I appreciated the author's notes about the 8 known Chinese people who were on board the real Titanic, and I liked that this book didn't dwell too much on stuff most readers will already know about Titanic. Oh I loved the inclusion of a cool rich lesbian character! Always lovely to remind readers that LGBTQ+ people have always existed.

This is a great historical adventure story for Titanic fans (and who isn't a Titanic fan?)
