Fifteen-year-old Sarah is blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Yep, there’s another WWII novel on this list of the best historical fiction books for teens. How to read it: Purchase Luck of the Titanic on Amazon Orphan Monster Spy by Matt Killeen Stacey Lee is already becoming known as one of the best YA historical fiction authors.
This propulsive novel is a nail-biter you won’t want to stop reading. Then, one night, the ship hits an iceberg, and everything changes. Desperate to make it on the ship, she sneaks on as a stowaway, hoping to avoid being seen. Val is supposed to meet up with her twin brother, Jamie, who is on board as a crew member and shares her circus dreams. Valora “Val” Luck has a ticket on the Titanic and a dream of becoming a circus performer in America. But Val is turned away at the gate for being Chinese. Not so in Stacey Lee’s heart-pounding Luck of the Titanic. But still, though it’s a popular tale, it’s rarely told in fiction.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Titanic (the movie) or took a deep dive into the ship’s Wikipedia page. Personally, I’m obsessed with the Titanic and its heartbreaking story.
