Nature attacks!

Nature attacks!

Lauren Tarshis

Book - 2015

From 14-year-old Joseph Dunn who was the lone survivor of the Shark Attacks of 1916, to 9-year-old Mike Kramer who, with the help of his quick-thinking parents, survived the Peshtigo fire of 1871 (which took place on the very same day in history as the Great Chicago Fire!), to the 13-year-old girl who survived a terrifying attack by a box jellyfish, this is a collection of unforgettable narrative non-fiction stories of unimaginable destruction -- and, against all odds, survival.

Review by Horn Book Review

Tarshis relates how children survived three real-life events, two in the 1800s, one in 1916, and one in 2009. The gripping accounts of a shark attack, volcanic eruption, deadly fire, and jellyfish encounter are accompanied by archival black-and-white photos and a variety of other informative graphics (maps, charts, checklists, etc.); supplemental historical information provides context.
