Charlie is a seventeen-year-old Malibu surfer who lives in the moment and is so not into time travel. Now she's facing Windline Academy's dreaded Junior Year Test, a trip in time designed to mold her into the girl her parents and school want her to be. The rules are clear: no changing history and no interfering with the senior who'll be sent to report any infractions.

When Charlie learns her test is to sail on the Titanic, she vows to hide out in her cabin. But soon she meets the ship's colorful passengers and has to choose between her conscience and passing the test. To make matters worse, Quinn, her childhood best friend turned annoying and super popular senior, shows up to keep her on track.

Sparks fly when she and Quinn clash, but soon their perspectives-and their hearts-meld under the Titanic's stars. Time, they learn, is a tough adversary, and in the end, the Titanic changes Charlie's future . . . forever.

If you love strong female characters, fun historical details, and edge-of-your-seat action, then you won't be able to put this down." - Rachel Carter, Author of the So Close to You Series"A beautiful, inventive story woven into the Titanic's inaugural voyage." - Nancy Silberkleit, Co-CEO, Archie Comics"Simpson has done her research; she brings the Titanic to life with sumptuous, detailed descriptions of the ship's decor, the fashions on display, the food, and many of its notable passengers and crew. In addition to being an action-packed adventure, the narrative raises a quintessential question of morality: Can Charlie, knowing that some 1,500 people will soon die in the frigid Atlantic, really refrain from trying to prevent the tragedy?" - Kirkus Reviews
