The I Survived Series has always been popular with kids, but now the graphic novel versions are even more popular. A great book, keeps kids engaged and teaches history at the same time! I hope they continue making more graphic novels, we’ll continue to buy them!
This graphic novel is made really well. It's very attractive, no marks on the cover, no bent pages. Looks fantastic and feels great in my hands. It's a gift for my grandson and he's going to love it.
He actually said it looked interesting and started to read it. 😲
Had to read it in one sitting because it was just so great
My grandson asked me to order this book for him. He’s read others in this series of books and really enjoys them. I love that he wants to read a book at all! Any book that attracts his attention enough to want to read it is a win!
Kiddo started reading immediately after opening her birthday gift(s).
Easy to read, educational, my 4th grade boy asked for more in the series
both my 10 year olds love this series - they love the telling in the graphic novel format and they are also learning about history through the lense of "people" who were in the experience - this set has opened meaningful conversation at the dinner table and they have read several of the full (non graphic novel) editions as well
