<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A stowaway, a stolen book, a murderous villain: an adventure on the most famous shipwreck in history. <p/>The great ocean liner <i>Titanic</i> is preparing to cross the Atlantic. Onboard is a sinister thief bent on stealing a rare book that may be the key to unlocking infinite treasure; a wealthy academic traveling home to America with his rare book collection; and Patrick Waters, a twelve-year-old Irish boy who is certain that his job as a steward on the unsinkable ship will be the adventure of a lifetime. In <i>Dangerous Waters </i>by Gregory Mone, disguises, capers, and danger abound as the ship makes its way toward that fateful iceberg, where Patrick will have to summon all his wits in order to survive. <p/>This title has Common Core connections.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Mone seamlessly integrates details of the <i>Titanic</i> and its fate into Patrick's story, and his passages about the ocean voyage are vivid, even lyrical." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"Mone spins a capable caper, complete with villains so nasty you can picture them twiddling their mustaches." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"The descriptions are magnificent." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Mr. Mone has created an enjoyable and at times poignant literary drama. With an echo of survivor Helen Candee, he writes of the sinking's ghastly cacophony: 'This was the music of hell.' " --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i> <p/>"Mone quickly entices readers with criminal intrigue, characters who range from eccentric to entirely ordinary, and, of course, the singular setting that is the Titanic." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Gregory Mone is the author of the novel <i>Fish</i>. He is a graduate of Harvard and lives in Massachusetts with his wife and two children.</p>
