Bookroo's summary

Jim Mulholland, a young cabin boy on the Titanic, is thrilled to be part of its historic voyage. Entrusted with the ship's cat, 4-0-1, he believes she brings good luck. But as the Titanic prepares to set sail, 4-0-1 vanishes. Desperate to find her, Jim faces a life-altering decision: stay on the ship or leave to search for the cat. Will his choice save him from the impending disaster, or will it lead to unforeseen consequences? The stakes are high as Jim's loyalty and fate hang in the balance.

From the publisher

Young Jim Mulholland can’t believe his good luck: He has signed on as a cabin boy to the world’s finest ocean liner, the Titanic, and can’t wait for the history-making voyage across the sea to America. As part of his duties Jim is in charge of the ship’s cat, a beautiful tortoiseshell that also appears happy to be on board. He calls the cat by the ship’s construction number, 4-0-1, certain that she will bring him good luck. And he’s delighted when 4-0-1 shortly gives birth to a litter of kittens. But once the ship’s trial runs are completed and it’s ready to launch to sea, Jim notices that 4-0-1 is nowhere to be found. He’s got to find her-the Titanic can’t cast off without her lucky cat. Jim is faced with a decision that will affect the rest of his life.
