I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis

 Summary Spoiler Warning     George Clade, ten years old, and Phoebe, his little sister, are in London visiting their Aunt Daisy. They are excited to sail on this well-known boat known as the Titanic. When George gets on board he explores the ship and gets to see the blueprints from the architecture. He hears people talking about a mummy being on board and is eager to find it. At night he sets out to look for mummy and sneaks into the cargo hold. There he is met by a thief, but the boat started to shake and George escapes. He makes it to the deck to see people playing with snow. Turns out that the shaking from earlier was the boat skimming an iceberg. George not thinking much about this goes back to bed. Later that night, a crewman comes to their room telling them to wake up and go to the deck. George and Aunt Daisy wake up and go to wake up Phoebe but she is missing. Luckily Phoebe had left a trail of lemon drops which led her brother and aunt to the gate where the poor were staying.
