Reach for this book when your teen is grappling with the magnitude of a sudden life change or needs a high stakes story about finding inner strength during a crisis. Big Water is a gripping survival story based on the real life 1892 sinking of the SS Asia in Georgian Bay. It follows two very different teenagers, Christina and Daniel, who are the sole survivors of a shipwreck and must depend on one another despite their initial friction. The narrative explores deep themes of shock, grief, and the primal will to live while providing a historical lens on North American shipping history. It is an excellent choice for mature readers who appreciate realistic, gritty adventure and stories that honor the resilience of the human spirit in the face of nature's indifference.
