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
heart-stopping dangers. Eleven-year-old Jack had grown up living
happily with his parents in an off-the-grid cabin, miles from their
closest neighbors. Grizzlies and wolves outnumbered people, and
dark winter days were 30 degrees below zero. Jack had always
thought of himself as strong -- "Alaska tough". But then the most
powerful earthquake in American history -- the Good Friday
Earthquake -- struck. The 9.2 magnitude quake lasted nearly five
minutes, destroying downtown Anchorage and sending 30-foot tsunamis
into coastal cities, wiping out entire communities. Its vibrations
were felt around the world. In the end, it caused billions of
dollars in damage and the death of 129 people. New York Times
bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tells the story of the disaster
that changed our understanding of earth science -- and tested one
boy in ways he never could have imagined. Includes a section of
nonfiction backmatter with more facts and photos about the
real-life event.

More than a century later, the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 is still
America's deadliest disaster. Lauren Tarshis's story of one child
surviving the horrible event churns with page-turning action and
bold hope. The city of Galveston, Texas, was booming. Perched on an
island off the southern coast of Texas, Galveston had been founded
in the 1830s. By 1900, it was Texas's richest and most important
city. Boats loaded up with American cotton and wheat steamed from
Galveston to countries around the world. Arriving ships were
crowded with immigrants. The streets, paved with crushed oyster
shells, sparkled like they'd been sprinkled with diamonds. True,
this glittering city was prone to flooding. But just a few years
before, a weather forecaster had said the idea of a hurricane
striking Galveston was absurd. So when a storm started brewing on
September 8, 1900, no one believed it would be any worse than
previous storms. They gathered on the beach to cheer on the wild
waves. But what started as entertainment soon turned into a
nightmare as those wild waves crashed into the city. By morning,
hundreds of homes were destroyed. Eight thousand people were dead.
The city had all but disappeared, In this thrilling installment of
Lauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series, one
child finds safety only to head back into the treacherous waters to
make sure his neighbors are safe.

The Wellington snow slide of 1910 was--and still is--the deadliest
avalanche in America's history. Lauren Tarshis's story of one child
surviving the frozen nightmare pounds with page-turning action and
heartwarming hope. The snow came down faster than train crews could
clear the tracks, piling up in drifts 20 feet high. At the
Wellington train depot in the Cascade Mountains, two trains sat
stranded, blocked in by snow slides to the east and west. Some
passengers braved the storm to hike off the mountain, but many had
no choice but to wait out the storm. But the storm didn't stop. One
day passed, then two, three . . . six days. The snow turned to
rain. Then, just after midnight on March 1, a lightning storm
struck the mountain, sending a ten-foot-high wave of snow barreling
down the mountain. The trains tumbled 150 feet. 96 people were
dead. The Wellington avalanche forever changed railroad
engineering. New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tells
the tale of one girl who survived, emerging from the snow forever
changed herself.
