Great Book!

This was a great book! I used it as my subject for a book report on a bigoraphy and it gave all of the info. i needed. Wonderful book...lots of specific details and fun facts!!! awesome book for kids AND adults who are interested in the Titanic. VERY nice picures and fun to read!!!!! Two thumbs up!

Brown descendant gives it a "thumbs up" for children

As one of the real "unsinkable" Mrs. Brown's great granddaughters, the more I read this book, the more I enjoy the spirit and warmth of it. Molly's life was gradually embellished into legend even in her own lifetime and through her own telling, so it is appropriate that the book takes her dramatic flair to extremes with the Mississippi River story, a yarn Ms. Blos invented. Now that the 1997 movie has renewed the interest in Titanic and endeared her character to a generation of teens, this book is a good version of her great American legacy, in-a-nutshell, for the younger kids. No, it's not all true, but neither is Washington's cherry tree story. The illustrations are fabulous and include many real-life outfits and decor Molly owned, down to the family photographs on her wall.

Kids like the rags-to-riches story & beautiful illustrations

Well-received by my Titanic-crazed kids (ages 7 & 9). They enjoyed Molly's spirited story & loved the poems that appear periodically, summing up milestones in the heroine's life. I loved the illustrations & overall quality of the book. Nice gift-giving item.
