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!
