Fans of dog stories and the RMS Titanic, take note! This new entry
in the Dog Diaries series--based on a true story--is narrated by a
pampered Peke that survived the fateful voyage!
Sun Yat-Sen--aka Sunny--enjoys the finer things in life. Noble canine
companion to globe-trotters Henry and Myra Harper, Sunny doesn't even
like to walk, preferring instead to be carried! Sunny and the Harpers
are traveling on the maiden voyage of the RMS *Titanic--*the biggest,
finest ship in the world. So imagine Sunny's horror when he learns he
must stay in the Titanic's kennel with eleven other dogs, not in the
Harpers' luxurious stateroom! It's . . . unthinkable! But only four days
into the voyage, Sunny learns the true meaning of tragedy when, hidden
inside Myra's fur coat, he escapes the sinking ship in a lifeboat.
Based on a true story, with realistic black-and-white illustrations
throughout and a fact-filled appendix that includes information about
the RMS Titanic, Pekingese dogs, and more, this is historical fiction
for middle graders who don't realize they like historical fiction!
