| Summary |
A gripping graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling I Survived the Attacks of September 11, 2001, in time for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The only thing Lucas loves more than football is his Uncle Benny, his dad's best friend at the firehouse where they both work. Benny taught Lucas everything about football. So when Lucas's parents decide the sport is too dangerous and he needs to quit, Lucas has to talk to his biggest fan. The next morning, Lucas takes the train to the city instead of the bus to school. It's a bright, beautiful day in New York as Lucas heads to the firehouse. But just as he arrives, everything changes -- and nothing will ever be the same again. Lauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series comes to vivid life in bold graphic novels. Perfect for readers who prefer the graphic novel format, or for existing fans of the I Survived chapter book series, these graphic novels combine historical facts with high-action storytelling that's sure to keep any reader turning the pages. Includes a nonfiction section at the back with facts and photos about the real-life event. "The comic book format works well with intense pacing, searing images and edge-of-your-seat suspense." -- San Francisco Chronicle 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 Lauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series tells stories of young people and their resilience and strength in the midst of unimaginable disasters and times of turmoil.
