No sinking feeling for Titanic tale author Judi

THE story of the Titanic may take a Cork-born children’s author on a voyage to international acclaim.

Judi Curtin, who comes from Douglas and now lives with her husband and three teenage children in Limerick, has made a major breakthrough into the British book market with the first of a series commissioned by Penguin’s children’s books imprint, Puffin.

The main character, a young Irish girl, is taken back in time and finds herself on the Titanic knowing its fate.
