My kid is 8 and loves to read these books, he likes that they have a "real" aspect to them...he is an extremely picky reader and it is so hard to find books that he likes to read, so I am amazed he loves to read this set of books, there has not been one yet from the series that he has not thoroughly enjoyed!
This is a wonderful series of books for junior aged kids. Our library had only one in the series and one of the middle school kids requested one which we didn't have. I hate to have an incomplete set of books so I ordered the rest and they arrived in excellent condition and are already checked out!
Great read for 3rd grade readers. Can be read alone or aloud. This story deals with 9/11 in a very neutral and child friendly way, yet without sugar coating anything. Having no memory of this event, my 9 yr old son was very curious. I read it to my 3rd grade son. He is a sensitive kid and doesn't like Goosebumps stories, so I was a little worried that this might scare him and we'd be having bedtime problems. It did not. He was not scared and asked a lot of questions.You can decide how much to share and show about 9/11 outside of the book. There is one picture of the first tower being hit in the book. That's it. Then it talks a lot about the fire fighters that helped people and sacrificed their lives. But the book really focuses on how many people escaped. There is one death at the end of the book, but the character is a periphery character and NOT any of the main characters. One of the main characters is wounded. It has a happy ending. When we finished the book, we watched a You Tube of the completed 9/11 memorial to show what is now at the location of the Twin Towers.
I am 9 and love this book probably the best book I read the love the I survived seriousOne fun serious
I felt some trepidation reading this book, for exactly the same reasons the author stated that she was hesitant to write it. The memories of that day are still so raw - it was a very scary time. And yet, I see kids clamor for the other books in this series; The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 and The San Francisco Earthquake, 1906 are especially popular titles. For children who weren't even born when September 11th happened, it's just another historic event they are curious about.Lucas is disappointed in being pulled from his middle school football team due to an injury. He decides to take the train into New York City to see if his beloved uncle Benny can talk his parents into changing their minds. Lucas soon finds himself in the midst of disaster, as the first plane hits the World Trade Center tower, and his uncle and dad, both firefighters, are called to help out. Most of the truly grim details of the terrorist attack are glossed over, but the sense of panic and alarm in those initial moments is handled in a very sensitive and age-appropriate way.The afterward from the author goes into more detail, explaining the number of casualties, and the national and world-wide reaction after the attacks. I was glad that she decided not to kill off Uncle Benny - even though it might have made the story more dramatic, the series is called "I Survived," after all. Informative and fast-paced, this is a good choice for third-grade readers who want to know more about this day in history.
I purchased all 9 books separately (it was more cost effective than buying the set as a whole). Looking forward to the August release of book 10. My child is not one who enjoys reading but boy oh boy does my child like this set.
I am eleven years old,and I wasn't born when 9/11 occurred.I have always been curious about about this event.This book is about a boy who goes to Manhattan on September 11.He is in the middle of all the action,and goes looking for his dad,a firefighter.His dad shows up and leads him to safety just before the tower collapses.Luckily,his uncle,who is also a firefighter,survives.The story story is so real and it reflects on the tragic events of September 11,2001.
My 4th grade class loves this series and several chose this book to do book projects throughout the year. From their presentations, they have learned a lot about 9/11 but are not scared by it. It's a little easy for 4th, but the content is about right, and my lower readers are not ashamed to read this series. It seems to be free from political bias, too.
