Reviews
Praise for I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 (I Survived Graphic Novel #1) : "The first installment of Tarshis' sprawling prose disaster oeuvre for young readers is reimagined in visually interesting full-color comic panels that support its recognizable thrilling pace and convenient twists. 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 "Dark, subdued, inky art sets a somber tone, while a parade of mostly small panels builds suspense and promises to engage readers." -- School Library Journal Praise for I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944 (I Survived Graphic Novel #3): "A crowd pleaser ... Those familiar with this installment will anticipate the traumas and triumphs of the story, while newcomers to the series will also be pulled in; all will be satisfied with the mostly happy resolution ... Another effective comics translation in this first-rate series." -- School Library Journal Praise 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 Journal Praise 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." -- Booklist Praise for I Survived the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863 : "Informative and breathlessly paced." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise 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 Reviews Praise 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." -- Booklist Praise for I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 : "A gripping story that will hold the interest of reluctant readers." -- School Library Journal Praise for I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 : "The fast pace and intrinsically fascinating disaster story will keep readers turning the pages." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 (I Survived Graphic Novel #1) : "The first installment of Tarshis' sprawling prose disaster oeuvre for young readers is reimagined in visually interesting full-color comic panels that support its recognizable thrilling pace and convenient twists.
