Description

In More than a century later, the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 remains America's deadliest disaster. In Lauren Tarshis's gripping tale, one child's survival in the face of this horrific event brims with heart-pounding action and unwavering hope. The city of Galveston, Texas, was flourishing. Situated on an island off the southern coast of Texas, Galveston had grown into the state's wealthiest and most significant city by 1900. Boats laden with American cotton and wheat departed from Galveston to ports worldwide, while arriving ships brought scores of immigrants. The streets, paved with crushed oyster shells, shimmered like they were dusted with diamonds. Though this vibrant city was no stranger to flooding, a weather forecaster had famously dismissed the notion of a hurricane striking Galveston just a few years prior. So, when a storm began to brew on September 8, 1900, few believed it would surpass previous storms. Spectators gathered on the beach to witness the spectacle of the churning waves. But what started as a spectacle quickly transformed into a nightmare as the ferocious waves pummeled the city. By morning, hundreds of homes lay in ruins, and eight thousand lives were lost. Galveston seemed to have vanished beneath the relentless waters. In this gripping addition to Lauren Tarshis's bestselling "I Survived" series, one child finds safety, only to brave the treacherous waters once more to ensure the safety of his neighbors.
