A gripping graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling
I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967, with text adapted by
Georgia Ball and art by Berat Pekmezci. No grizzly has ever killed
a human in Glacier National Park before... until tonight.
Eleven-year-old Melody Vega and her family come to Glacier every
year. Mel loves it here -- the beautiful landscapes and wildlife
make it easy to forget her real-world troubles. But this year is
different. With Mom gone, every moment in the park is a reminder of
the past. Then Mel comes face-to-face with a mighty grizzly. She
knows basic bear safety: Don't turn your back. Don't make any
sudden movements. And most importantly: Don't run. That last one is
the hardest for Mel; she's been running from her problems all her
life. If she wants to survive tonight, she'll have to find the
courage to face her fear. Based on the real-life grizzly attacks of
1967, this bold graphic novel tells the story of one of the most
tragic seasons in the history of America's national parks -- a
summer of terror that forever changed ideas about how grizzlies and
humans can exist together in the wild. Lauren Tarshis's New York
Times bestselling I Survived series comes to vivid life in graphic
novel editions. Perfect for readers who prefer the graphic novel
format, or for existing fans of the I Survived chapter book series,
these graphic novels combine historical facts with high-action
storytelling that's sure to keep any reader turning the pages.
Includes a nonfiction section at the back with facts and photos
about the real-life event.
13-year-old Bruce Wayne attends an exclusive prep school for the
gifted. But in this case, 'gifted' means kids with super-powers.
Bruce is suddenly the least special person in his world--and must
learn to work with the talents he does have. It's hard enough being
in middle school, but it's even worse when you're the only kid at
your school who doesn't have super-powers. That's the case for poor
Bruce Wayne at the Gotham Preparatory School for the Really,
Really, Really Gifted, where the struggles of being un-powered are
made worse by the presence of so many exceptionally gifted
students. He doesn't stand a chance of winning a race against the
future Flash, or a swim meet against the future Aquaman, and he
always gets picked last for dodgeball. And when it comes to winning
the attention of the most popular girls at school-Diana Prince and
Selina Kyle--he figures he stands no chance at all. Bruce does have
a goal though: he wants to make a difference in the world. But how
can he do that when he doesn't have any powers? While the
Future-Supers are currently content to simply use their gifts to
glide through school and court popularity, Bruce struggles to
figure out if he has any gifts at all - and if so, how to use them.
His challenge comes when he discovers fellow student Jack Napier
and his hired bully Bane shaking down lesser-powered students for
money, including that hapless kid Dick Grayson. Someone must stand
up to them and somehow, it's going to be Bruce!
