I Survived: The Japanese Tsunami, 2011 (Graphic Novel) - Lauren Tarshis

Graphic Novel

Visiting his dad’s hometown in Japan four months after his father’s death would be hard enough for Ben. But one morning, the pain turns to fear: first, a massive earthquake rocks the quiet coastal village, nearly toppling his uncle’s house. Then the ocean waters rise, and Ben and his family are swept away—and pulled apart—by a devastating tsunami. Can he fight hard enough to survive one of the most destructive disasters of all time?
