Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

I am not sure if this is what you're/he's looking for as it's not specifically YA but there's a Max Allan Collins novel actually set on the Titanic--I enjoyed it a lot, and several of my students have read it and liked it too. I think it's called The Titanic Murders. It's about real-life author Jacques Futrelle, who died on Titanic. Very interesting.

If anyone has time to answer before leaving for the convention, I have a request from a reading teacher in my building. His team does an extensive unit on the Titanic, and he is looking for a 7th-grade novel set in the U.S. or Europe sometime around 1850-1915. He's a British literature fanatic, so he has all the great British authors in mind already, but he's reaching out for an adolescent novel. Any ideas? Thanks.
