Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their own sense of identity or feeling the pressure of making the 'right' choice in a world that feels increasingly complex. While it is a high-stakes Victorian fantasy, at its heart is the story of Ben Kingdom, a boy who must decide if he will follow the path of least resistance or stand up for something greater than himself. It is a powerful tool for discussing the nuances of morality and the courage required to choose goodness when evil is more enticing. Set in a gritty, Dickensian 1891 London, the story pits a group of rooftop-dwelling protectors against a subterranean gang of cut-throats. Parents will appreciate how the book handles themes of belonging and justice through a secular, action-packed lens. It is ideally suited for middle-schoolers who enjoy dark atmosphere and high adventure, providing a safe space to explore the concept of inner strength and the importance of finding one's tribe.
