Reach for this book when your child is beginning to grapple with the complexities of growing up, specifically the transition from self-centeredness to a sense of duty toward others. While many Titanic stories focus on the spectacle of the sinking, Titanic Crossing uses this historical tragedy to explore the internal struggle of a young boy who must decide what kind of man he wants to become. It is a poignant choice for children facing sudden family changes or those who need to see a peer navigating fear with quiet bravery. As thirteen-year-old Albert sails toward a new life in America, he is preoccupied with his own frustrations and his pesky younger sister. When disaster strikes, the story shifts into a high-stakes survival drama that forces Albert to set aside his own needs to protect his family. This book is best suited for readers aged 8 to 12 who are ready for a realistic, secular exploration of grief and responsibility. It provides a safe space to discuss how we care for one another during moments of crisis and the weight of saying goodbye.
