Many of the most exciting scenes are largely wordless, spotlighting the propulsive action amid growing tensions. A fresh and interesting adaptation, making for an easy crowd pleaser." -- Kirkus Reviews"The original I Survived series already has lots of appeal for emerging readers, but this graphic adaptation of Tarshis' novel not only stays incredibly true to the original story but now provides another format in which to enjoy this high-interest and easily accessible piece of historical fiction. The illustrations nicely complement the plot-driven tone and softly show the historical horror appropriately for a young audience without minimalizing its tragedy... Readers will be poring over the pages to see what happens next, even if they're already familiar with the story." -- Booklist"Dark, subdued, inky art sets a somber tone, while a parade of mostly small panels builds suspense and promises to engage readers." -- School Library JournalPraise for Lauren Tarshis's I Survived chapter books:Praise for I Survived the American Revolution, 1776:"Tarshis successfully blends historical fact with an involving narrative." -- School Library JournalPraise for I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79:"Tarshis serves up another gripping adventure... with the light-speed pacing and death-defying maneuvering fans have come to expect." -- BooklistPraise for I Survived the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863:"Informative and breathlessly paced." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for I Survived the Attacks of September 11, 2001:"[Tarshis] crafts a dramatic, emotionally intense tale that takes account of 9/11's physical and emotional costs -- short- and long-term -- while ending on an upward beat." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for I Survived Hurricane Katrina, 2005:"Expressive illustrations capture the drama of the storm and its aftermath, but the book's real power comes from its exploration of what it means to be a hero." -- BooklistPraise for I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916:"A gripping story that will hold the interest of reluctant readers." -- School Library JournalPraise for I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912:"The fast pace and intrinsically fascinating disaster story will keep readers turning the pages." -- Kirkus ReviewsAbout the AuthorLauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series tell
