When History Happened: I Was on the Titanic ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ transports young adventurers straight into the gripping true story of the RMS Titanic's fateful 1912 maiden voyage. Through the wide-eyed perspective of 10-year-old Alex Chen-a curious Canadian boy traveling with his aunt, little sister Mia, and new friends-listeners experience the thrill of boarding the world's largest "unsinkable" ship in Southampton, England, and the rapid shift from luxury to life-or-death survival.¿
From Majesty to Mayhem ¿¿¿¿¿¿

Short, pulse-pounding 25 chapters chronicle the collision's shudder, frantic lifeboat launches under "women and children first," and Alex's heroic swim through freezing waters-blending verified history like the missing lookout binoculars with raw emotion and family bonds.¿
