I thought this story was fascinating. I think it keeps the memory of the Titanic alive, especially since it happened over 100 years since the sinking of the Titanic occurred. I thought it was cool how the kids were looking into their ancestors and found exciting things to discuss in the classroom.

I really like the Horrible Harry books.

It’s nice having their adventures expand from outside their school.

Enjoyed the boat and sea theme.

I enjoyed the story generally, but I'm also wondering how many books in this series feature field trips with no one able to find where Sidney went.

This is another interesting story in the Horrible Harry series by Suzy Kline and Frank Remkiewicz. We've read several of the books in this series and found them to be funny, short, and entertaining.

We liked that the class was able to take such a fun field trip and I loved that the students shared special things from their families. We thought the information about the Titanic was fascinating and we liked the bit of drama on the boat.

We really enjoyed reading this book together and will be sure to read more of the books in this series soon.

This is a book my son and I read aloud. He is reading at a 3/4th grade level.

What I liked...
1. Chapters that were a great length for reading aloud - never got discouraged by how many more words to read.
2. Print was big and easy to read.
3. Lots of pictures.
4. A reference to the Titanic, which kids do pick up on and are fascinating by.

What I didn't like…

Not a thing. I was an k-3 teacher for years. Harry never disappointed. Good job, Suzy Kline.

We read this series quite awhile ago, but somehow missed this one. It was pretty good- not as funny as some of the Horrible Harry books, but decent.

Learning about their ancestors ends with the kids going out to sea on a field trip that gets a little TOO exciting when they lose Sidney.

[Sydney · Rating 4 out of 5]
