The author takes readers to five very different disasters. The main characters, the real people she talks about are kids who have survived the disaster, although people did die in the disasters. She gives facts about each disaster, and a bibliography for more information. There are disasters that people have heard much about, like tornados and blizzards, and some that may be less well known, like tsunamis, and a molasses flood. These interesting accounts are not scary, so they are good for young children, and may a foster a desire for further reading. ( ) "I Survived" True Stories tells five different true stories of children surviving dangerous situations. The five stories include The Children's Blizzard in 1888 with other information about similar blizzards, the sinking of the Titanic, the Japanese Tsunami in 2011, and the Henryville Tornado along with other information about similar tornado disasters, and a very unique disaster involving a molasses spill in Boston in 1919. Each story is told from the perspective of children that were involved in the disasters. This book helps students learn about the natural disasters of tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis and helps them think about how people at risk for these events can be prepared. The stories set in the 1800s and early 1900s can be used to help students compare the present to the past. This book motivates students to seek out other "I Survived" stories that interest them too! I thought the book, I Survived: Five Epic Disasters was interesting. I usually do not enjoy non-fiction books, but this one actually interested me. The book focused on five specific disasters: The Titanic, the Japanese Tsunami, the Henryville Tornado, the Great Boston Molasses Flood, and the Children’s Blizzard. The main idea of this book was to provide factual information based off of specific disasters such as, the Titanic. I liked this book because of the extra textual features. For example, at the end of each chapter are “files” from the event, which tells you more interesting facts and ways to continue your research. Another reason I liked this book was because each disaster was written in story form. For example, each chapter was told through someone’s personal experience; it was not just a series of facts thrown onto a page. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
