Praise for I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 (I Survived Graphic Novel #1): ""The first installment of Tarshis' sprawling prose disaster oeuvre for young readers is reimagined in visually interesting full-color comic panels that support its recognizable thrilling pace and convenient twists. Many of the most exciting scenes are largely wordless, spotlighting the propulsive action amid growing tensions. A fresh and interesting adaptation, making for an easy crowd pleaser."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Dark, subdued, inky art sets a somber tone, while a parade of mostly small panels builds suspense and promises to engage readers."" -- School Library Journal Praise for I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944 (I Survived Graphic Novel #3): ""A crowd pleaser...Those familiar with this installment will anticipate the traumas and triumphs of the story, while newcomers to the series will also be pulled in; all will be satisfied with the mostly happy resolution...Another effective comics translation in this first-rate series."" -- School Library Journal Praise for I Survived the Attacks of September 11, 2001 (I Survived Graphic Novel #4): ""The comic book format works well with intense pacing, searing images and edge-of-your-seat suspense."" -- San Francisco Chronicle Praise for I Survived the Battle of D-Day, 1944 (I Survived Graphic Novel #9): ""A wartime adventure with extra 'ka-boom.'
