A beautifully rendered graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling I Survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011, with text adapted by Georgia Ball and art by Chris Chalk.

The disaster felt around the world...

It's hard enough that Ben is visiting his dad's hometown in Japan only four months after his death. But one morning, Ben's grief turns to fear when a massive earthquake rocks the quiet coastal village where he's staying. His family narrowly escapes a collapsing house, only to find that the ocean is rising up. Ben and his family are swept away -- and pulled apart -- by a devastating tsunami.

Now Ben is alone, stranded in an unfamiliar country thousands of miles from home. Can Ben find enough courage and strength to survive one of the most epic disasters of all time?

Lauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series is brought to life like never before in this graphic novel edition. 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.

Product description

Review

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.' This is a clever series that uses the exciting ‘ka-boom’ format of the graphic novel to introduce children to dramatic moments in history. It makes you wonder why more graphic novels aren’t used to such brilliant, educational effect." --The Times

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 longterm -- 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

--This text refers to the paperback edition.
