About the author

Lauren Tarshis often wonders how she came to spend most of her waking moments thinking about disasters, as the author of the children's historical fiction series "I Survived." Each book takes readers into the heart of history's most thrilling and terrifying events, including the sinking of the Titanic, the Shark Attacks of 1916, Hurricane Katrina, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the San Francisco earthquake, 9/11, and the Battle of Gettysburg. Writing these books often makes her feel very nervous, as though at any moment a volcano could erupt right outside her window. Then again, she has learned a thing or two about avoiding being eaten by a shark.
Lauren is also the author of the the award-winning Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree and its sequel, Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell in Love.

My 3rd graders love reading this for their independent reading time. They usually read them on EPIC off of their tablets. I think these books are great for any history unit as well as great independent reading books.

Good books! I bought the entire "I survived" book set for my autistic son and read every book to him when he was little. It's always fun to turn these books into a little history lesson and show him YouTube videos of live footage or a book review. It makes the experience of reading these books much more interesting for someone that doesn't enjoy reading and struggles with it. The characters are fictional and the author does a great job researching before writing.

A bit of history, a story with a young boy that fits into the time period; your preteen will really enjoy reading and learning at the same time. Quick reads for any age. Great endings.

[Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent books that delve into history open-eyed! Only caveat is that they contain some violence or dramatic elements that might be too much for younger listeners.
