I Survived The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912

George is on the adventure of his life! He, his sister Phoebe and his Aunt Daisy are on the Titanic. He loves exploring the boat and talking to the passengers and staff on the ship. On the night of April 14th, he sneaks from bed to find a special piece of cargo. While he’s out, the boat hits an iceberg and begins taking on water, but when he gets back to his room, he discovers his sister is missing! After locating her, his family has to find a way to the top deck to get off the sinking ship, but the obstacles are so many.

This graphic novel based on the book of the same name is going to delight those readers who love Tarshis’s I Survived series. The illustrations are beautifully rendered in color and detail, and follows right along with the original book. The beginning, like in the books, begins with a foreshadowing of what’s to come, followed by the title of the book, very much like the beginning of a fast-paced action movie. Good news! This first one in the series will be followed by I survived the Shark Attacks of 1916 in June this year.
