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 I Survived the Attacks of September 11, 2001 (I Survived Graphic Novel #4): "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 Battle of D-Day, 1944 (I Survived Graphic Novel #9): “A wartime adventure with extra ‘ka-boom.’ It makes you wonder why more graphic novels aren’t used to such brilliant, educational effect.” -- The Times Children’s Book of the Week
Praise for I Survived the Great Molasses Flood, 1919 (I Survived Graphic Novel #11): "The chronology of events paints a vivid picture of the time with complementary illustrations to the historical narrative. The delivery is easy to follow, making this graphic novel a useful look into the past for younger readers, bolstered by the art." -- School Library Journal
Praise for Lauren Tarshis's I Survived chapter books:
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 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 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

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST book series of books for kids I have ever come across!
One of the BEST book series of books for kids I have ever come across! The graphic novel style helps kids build confidence in their ability to read larger books and Lauren Tarshis's creative storytelling is both informative and inspirational. My 4th grader can't get enough of these books!
5.0 out of 5 stars We LOVE the I Survived books!
The whole “I Survived” series by Lauren Tarshis is awesome. Be it the chapter books or graphic novels, they are informative and engaging. My son discovered that “I Survived” had branched out into graphic novels while browsing in the library. He recently asked to add the chapter books and graphic novels to his Christmas and/or birthday list. (What?! You want books?! We’re more than happy to purchase the books and add them to your wishlist! Ha!). I haven’t read this one since it’s newly published and I’m waiting to read it with my son after he opens it for Christmas, but….The stories are typically told from the vantage of a child living through the event. One thing I appreciate is that the author doesn’t automatically jump to the event. Instead she builds up the background of the main character(s) so that it drives home that these are ordinary, relatable people. I also appreciate that she tells the stories in a kid-friendly way without totally sanitizing the scariness of the situations that these kids faced.The pages are thick and the binding seems like it will hold up well to multiple readings. The illustrations and text are crisp and detailed. Since I homeschool, I tend to track the reading levels of my son’s books. According to the Renaissance Accelerated Reader Bookfinder, the “I Survived” Graphic Novels are in the 2nd to 3rd grade AR reading level. This book has not been rated yet. (As of November 4, 2022)(Note: If you read the chapter books, you may wonder how they compare to the graphic novels. The Grizzlies and Shark Attack chapter/graphic novels are all on a third grade reading level. The 9/11 graphic novel has a third grade AR level, but the chapter book has a 4th grade AR level. The Nazi Invasion graphic novel has a 3rd grade AR level, but the chapter book has a 5th grade AR level.)
