I am a 4th grade teacher and I cannot keep the I Survived books in my classroom library neat. The boys read them and constantly fight over them. The Shark Attacks of 1916 was no different- it already looks worn. I love when I find books that students actually read, and am thrilled that the boys found a series they love sooo much. I also like how they teach history, seem to have some great character lessons, and are high interest! I would buy any book from this series because the book will actually be read and enjoyed.
We have struggled getting my 9yr old son to read over the past couple of years. He just wasn't interested and it has been a struggle. He stumbled accross the I survived series and he doesn't want to put the book down. I think he finds the story exciting, and relates to the characters. He loves talking about it after he's done reaading. This is a mother's dream! I only wish there were more books in the series!
Another great one in the "I Survived" Series! My 11 year old grandson could not wait to get his hands on this one. I am delighted that our young reader has finally found a series that he actually wants to read!
I bought this book through when I saw an elementary boy reading it. I really like the book! It's fast and easy to read, and based on (and includes) real happenings. There are two more books in the series, too, which I am also getting: "I survived the sinking of the Titanic," and "I survived Hurricane Katrina."In this book Chet is living with his uncle in a new town, and going to a new school. He feels alone and unloved. He starts to feel accepted by a group of boys until they play a prank on him. That really hurts, but his uncle tells him that that is the way of boys: They play a prank on you, so now you play one back on them to show you're ready to be friends! Chet does, but it backfires; they can't handle it and stop playing with him.Frustrated, Chet goes to their swimming hole to clean it up. Then he sees (and is almost grabbed) by a shark. However, no one believes him when he goes running into town--except one old captain. The formerly friendly boys joke about it, even "tempting" the shark--which they don't believe is real--by jumping in the creek. But...then guess who comes along, and guess who rescues the boys!The pictures in this book are absolutely well-drawn as well.
The shark attacks were based on true story's. This writer had simply balanced reading and writing elements. The was a perfect amount of drama and comedy like the pranks they pulled on Each other is a perfect example of dramatic and comedian elements. This book would be hard to forget. Highly recommend to readers who have a taste for drama comedy and a awesome book
My 10 year old absolutely loves reading this series and learns some history in the process.The books are accessible especially if you have a child who does not love reading a lot. It's a good blend of fiction with realy historical facts which makes it more engaging for those children who prefer non fiction.
My son absolutely loves this series of "I survived " he always wants more books and tells us about them in great detail the excitement that these books bring out of him is awesome. Well written and we look forward to new ones as they come out.
I may be giving it 5 stars, but this book was for my son who loves this series. He is 8 and really enjoys the whole I survived series. This book was very interesting to him because frankly, what boy doesn't like sharks. He can't put the books down from this series and often takes them with him when we have a road trip.
