Life aboard ship is well described as is the sense of unreality when passengers first hear the call to lifeboats on the fateful night of the disaster. Readers meet some of the other passengers and observe the strong friendship between Sam and Bucky, the friend who has helped him recover from the death of his father and loss of his mother (who moved back to America six years earlier). A dog lover, he spends the bulk of his time aboard the Titanic in the ship's kennels and forms a strong attachment to the owner's dog, whom he names Star. Sam Harris, 12, is on his way to America to join his mother and new stepfather.
