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 JournalPraise 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 JournalPraise 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 ChroniclePraise 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 WeekPraise 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 JournalPraise 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." -- BooklistPraise for I Survived the American Revolution, 1776:"Tarshis successfully blends historical fact with an involving narrative." -- School Library JournalPraise forI 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." -- BooklistPraise for I Survived the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863:"Informative and breathlessly paced." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise 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 longterm -- while ending on an upward beat." -- Kirkus ReviewsPraise for I Survived the Shark Attacks of 1916:"A gripping story that will hold the interest of reluctant readers." -- School Library JournalPraise 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
