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.

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.

History made relatable

These books are great! I’ve never been interested in history. Ever. But, teaching my son had me looking for history resources he could relate to (or at least understand). I read the books before giving them to my son. I couldn’t put them down. I’ve also ordered the other 14 books. He looks forward to reading these books (and doesn’t realize he’s learning).
