I Survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011 by Lauren Tarshis

4.0

This series is such an interesting viewpoint of these historical events. I love being able to feel like I was there without actually having been. Especially for those events that I would have not existed to "see". In this book, the main character survives not only the biggest earthquake to have hit Japan, but one of the biggest ever. The way it is described made it feel like I was right there with him. The author does an amazing job of describing it without making it so scary that a middle grade child couldn't read it.
