Quick Summary
If your kid loves history mixed with a little mischief, this one's for them. Luna, Konstantin, and Aidan are part of this secret club called the Butterfly Club, and they're tasked with pulling off a heist on the actual Titanic which is honestly pretty wild as a setting for a middle grade adventure. The characters feel real and funny, and there's enough action and danger to keep reluctant readers turning pages. Parents should know it does have some profanity, violence, and content around gender bias and transphobia that comes up in the story, so it's probably better suited for the older end of the 4-8 range. That said, if your kid is into time travel, spy missions, or just books where kids outsmart adults, they'll probably eat this up. It's the first in a series, so there's definitely more fun ahead if they get hooked. Think of it as a historical adventure with a modern, slightly edgy twist perfect for kids who want something with a bit more bite than typical middle grade.
