The Deep

The Deep by Alma Katsu. A totally creepy historical fantasy set on both the Titanic and her sister ship the Britannic. Two maids from the Titanic, who survived the sinking, find themselves serving on the Britannic as nurses during WWI. Both served as maids in the first class section on the Titanic; Annie remembers many mysterious happenings in first class before the sinking. Now on the Britannic she meets another survivor from the Titanic, now a soldier injured in the war. Will the curse of the Titanic follow them onto her sister ship? A thoroughly enchanting ghost story, based on the historical sinking of both the Titanic and the Britannic during the early 1900s. Katsu weaves both fictional and historic characters into her story. 

Ratings: 11th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - V (violence) - AC (mature thematic content).
