"""Told in a fast-paced, exciting tone and filled with well-chosen photographs, these titles afford readers a realistic glimpse into the lives of incredible individuals and will inspire them to face their own hardships with resilience and hope.""--Booklist -- (5/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)"


The series They Survived quickly pulls readers into unfathomable situations overcome by individuals both past and present. A brief introduction will have kids holding their breath as they turn the pages to learn about these amazing individuals and the hardships they endured. Readers will become part of Aron Ralston's fight for survival in Surviving a Canyon, when his arm becomes pinned between a boulder and the canyon wall. A relaxing surfing practice turns into a fight for Bethany Hamilton's life in Surviving a Shark Attack, after a shark bites off most of Bethany's left arm. In Surviving a World War II Prison Camp, a bad situation gets worse when enemies pick up Louis Zamperini and his two friends after their plane crashes. In Surviving Antarctica, readers join Ernest Shackleton and his team in their ill-fated attempt to circumnavigate Antarctica, resulting in a dangerous trek across the frozen water. Told in a fast-paced, exciting tone and filled with well-chosen photographs, these titles afford readers a realistic glimpse into the lives of incredible individuals and will inspire them to face their own hardships with resilience and hope. Titles include pages detailing survival gear used, such as a sextant when navigating (Surviving Antarctica) and a hydration pack (Surviving a Canyon), as well as recommendations for surviving deadly situations.--Booklist -- Journal
