The Great Alaska Earthquake is the largest and most powerful
recorded earthquake in US history. Lauren Tarshis's story of one
child surviving this terrifying natural disaster pounds with
page-turning action and heartwarming hope. It was 1964 in the
brand-new state of Alaska, a vast land of staggering beauty and

powerful earthquake in American history -- the Good Friday
Earthquake -- struck. The 9.2 magnitude quake lasted nearly five

into coastal cities, wiping out entire communities. Its vibrations

boy in ways he never could have imagined. Includes a section of
