Excitement from the first page!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2023

Verified Purchase

Lauren Tarshis is the master of drawing her readers in from the very first page. This book did not disappoint! My 3rd through 5th grade students and I read it over the course of two weeks. We could have read it faster but I wanted to intersperse the reading with lessons on the ship and it's sinking, the geography and the science. It inspired quite a bit of explorational learning and encouraged my kiddos to choose new I Survived books to continue reading. This series is a gem, even for reluctant readers!

Great Story that teaches about a real event

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

Teaching about the Titanic, this story is a must. The author did a great job creating a fictional character that goes over events that took place and the overall feeling that took place during the sinking of the Titanic. I even got a little choked up reading this aloud. However, I feel like that feeling of sadness and fear was important to really convey why this was such a tragic event. My reading is now in love with this series.

Great book for my 8 year old son

My 8 year old son is obsessed with the "I Survived" book series. They are great educational books. I've ordered a couple that he doesn't have at his school library and will be ordering more.

Boy who refused to read EVERYTHING loved this book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

My husband and I both LOVE to read and we never worried that our son would grow to enjoy it, too. Yet by the time 3rd grade rolled around, we had a child who HATED reading books. The bookcase in our living room grew heavier with more enticing tales and he wouldn't read a single page in any of them. He enjoyed the books I read aloud to him very much but he simply refused to read on his own. "Diary of a Whimpy Kid!" everyone shouted. He wouldn't touch them. "Hatchet!" they urged. We read it aloud after he refused to begin it on his own. Then someone said "Buy the four dollar 'I Survived' series and trust me, he will read from then on." Yeah, okay.

Since my son had recently shown interest in the Titanic after watching a documentary, I bought this book used off Amazon just to see if it would spark his interest. It arrived in the mail and he was happy when I told him the package was for him. He opened it and was curious. He actually read a page.
Now, I'll be honest. The book sat for months untouched. Then one day he decided to look at it again, all on his own. He read a few more pages. Next thing we knew he was refusing to turn off his light and go to sleep because he was reading. He was ignoring my requests for him to put away his laundry because he was reading. He wouldn't stop and eat breakfast because he was reading. HE WAS READING! It worked!!!

I'm very grateful to the person who first told me to try this series. It grab's a child's interest and holds on so they keep turning those pages. If you are in the same boat that we just got out of with a boy who won't read, consider trying this book!

Can’t wait to use for teaching about Titanic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

Such a good read. Short book, just enough to introduce the Titanic in my classroom and gives enough detail about the ship for us to investigate/research. A super balance of fact and fiction as addresses lack of lifeboats and the differences between the class of accommodation as well as a loveable character to bring the story to life.

His Dad said it was a good choice for the 9 year old who is very interested in history and reluctant to read went he has other options available. My other grandchildren highly recommended the I Survived book.
