Kaspar the Titanic Cat

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Michael Foreman. Orphan Johnny Trott, a bellboy at London's Savoy Hotel, is lonely--until a cat named Kaspar and a girl named Lizziebeth enter his life. Johnny finds himself on an adventure, stowing away aboard the Titanic then helping Lizziebeth's family escape the disaster. Morpurgo's highly accessible text provides a good amount of suspense. Foreman's black-and-white illustrations are by turns dramatic and reassuring.
