About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to grapple with complex problem solving or shows a deep empathy for animals in high stakes situations. It is an excellent choice for kids who enjoy logic puzzles but might be intimidated by dry textbooks, as it weaves mathematical thinking into a fast paced historical rescue mission. While the setting is the Titanic, the focus remains on the trio's teamwork and their determination to save a small kitten from the doomed ship. Through the lens of Steffi, Kenny, and Jose, children see how academic skills like math can be applied in real world (and out of world) scenarios. The book handles the historical tragedy with age appropriate gentleness, focusing on the immediate goal of the rescue rather than the larger scale disaster. It is a confidence booster for elementary readers who want a mix of adventure, science fiction, and historical mystery.
