From the bestselling author of Darwin’s Dragons and My Friend the Octopus comes an exciting historical adventure – with a touch of magic – set aboard the Titanic … 

Young cabin steward, Sid, is proud to be working on the Titanic, the greatest ship ever built.

Clara dreams of adventure too, but she’s a stowaway in the hold of a much smaller boat, Carpathia. Here she meets the biggest, best dog she’s ever known: Rigel, who is on his way to be reunited with his owner.

None of them could have imagined how they would need each other one ice-cold terrible night – or that an extraordinary sea creature might also answer their call …

• The third middle-grade historical adventure from the author of Darwin’s Dragons and My Friend the Octopus  
• A new spin on the sinking of the Titanic, offering an uplifting alternate history of real-life survivor, Sid Daniels
• A touching animal friendship lies at the heart of the story, as well as hints of mythology
