A: My 8 and 12 year old sons both take turns reading them. They introduce them to history in a way that is easy to understand.

Kayla Sheehan: I had purchased a few of these from the series for my son at Cost-co. He LOVED them. He asked for more for Christmas.
Ordered them on Amazon, to find out these ones are not graphic novels. Just regular chapter books. I assumed all in the series would be graphic much like the first ones we bought at Cost-co.
Beware!

MeganMegan: Amazing book! The perfect combination of adventure, fiction, and actual events! Our family is obsessed with the I Survived series! This book our daughter chose to use for her diorama assignment. Get all of these books! No one in your home will be disappointed!

moonhunt18: My 9 yo daughter has loved the I Survived series for a few years now. Truth be told, I do too.

The stories are always about a kid (usually 11yo) who lives through historical disasters, and we learn about those disasters through his/her eyes.

The tales are well-written and include facts- as well as historical fiction to hold the audience’s attention.

They are exciting and sad; gripping and profound; tragic and heartwarming. You can always count on the main kid-character surviving...but not always the other people in the story.

Your child and you will certainly come away with the intended morals:
*War is Hell. (D day, Pearl Harbor, Gettysburg, American Revolution, Civil War etc)
*People can be evil: (Hitler, 9/11, maybe in a few years, Trump will be a subject of one of her books)
*The newest inventions aren’t always the best: (Titanic, Hindenburg)
Don’t turn your back on nature: (Tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, floods)
Animals are wild; don’t turn your back on them either:: (sharks, grizzlies)
And molasses is...well. We are reading that one next.

Really can not recommend enough.

Amber Morales: My 10 year old son was a very late reader, and getting him to voluntarily read ANYTHING was like pulling teeth. These books....the entire series...is a completely different story (no pun intended). These books put the child into a (albeit fictionalized) historical event. Not only are they interesting to my son, but each book in the series is a history lesson in itself. This series causes my son to ask some very thought provoking questions about 9/11, the Vietnam War, the Third Reich and, in this case, the Hindenburg. Each has been a "teachable moment" (I don't like cliches, but this one fits) and gave us a chance to dispel some misconceptions/misperceptions my son had about important events in history. My son just started reading this one today, and he's already 3/4 of the way through. It makes me smile to see him actually excited about the books and reading, and actually ASKING me to buy more! I'm thankful we found these books. If you have a child who is less than enthusiastic about reading, try one of these books, it might change everything.

SEL: My 11 year old loves this series. Reads these books quickly and with real pleasure which is great to see as he doesn’t usually like reading
