Description

Experience the gripping tale of survival and resilience in Lauren Tarshis's I Survived the Great Alaska Earthquake, 1964, a riveting account of one boy's harrowing journey through nature's wrath.


In 1964, Alaska was a vast and untamed wilderness, a land of unparalleled beauty and formidable dangers. Eleven-year-old Jack had spent his life in the remote wilderness with his parents, far from civilization. Surrounded by grizzlies, wolves, and harsh winter conditions, Jack prided himself on being Alaska tough.


But then, disaster struck. The Good Friday Earthquake, the most powerful earthquake in American history with a magnitude of 9.2, rocked Alaska for nearly five terrifying minutes. Downtown Anchorage was destroyed, and towering tsunamis ravaged coastal towns, leaving devastation in their wake. The quake's impact was felt globally, causing billions of dollars in damage and claiming 129 lives.


In this gripping novel, bestselling author Lauren Tarshis takes readers on a journey through one of the most significant natural disasters in history, seen through the eyes of a young boy who must summon all his strength and courage to survive. Includes a section of nonfiction backmatter with additional facts and photos about this real-life event.
