Clara dreams of adventure at sea, and discovers it the hard way
as a stowaway on a much smaller ship, the Carpathia.



Here, she meets a giant bear of a dog: Rigel, who has a reputation
for mischief.


What none of them can foresee is how they’ll need each other on
the night Titanic collides with an iceberg.


Or that an even more extraordinary creature might also answer
their call …

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

adventure, real-life history and a magical twist
