One of Peck's best efforts. The dichotomy between wealthy Amanda and servant Amanda really shows up the difference between classes. What Amanda chooses naturally, Miranda can only wish for. ( )

I had high expectations for this one. It did not live up to my expectations. The story contained very little about the Titanic, it was a very small part of the story. The story was basically spelled out in the description on the back of the book. No surprises here! ( )

Because I enjoyed other books by Richard Peck, I thought I would like this one as well. I was wrong.

The story of two girls, one rich, one poor, both of whom look alike, was quite boring and tedious.

When the rich Amanda uses her servant girl Miranda for devious purposes, the tables are turned.

With the backdrop of the sinking of the Titanic, Peck weaves a tale that never quite lives up to his usual standard.

Not recommended. ( )

Barf. I hated this book. It read exactly like one of my Mom's romance novels. Totally unbelievable, totally predictable. I would not recommend this book to ANYONE. ( )
