I Survived (The Graphic Novel)

Based on Lauren Tarshis's best-selling historical fiction chapter books, this Scholastic graphic novel series brings pivotal moments in history to life through the eyes of children who lived through them. Since 2020, writer Georgia Ball and a team of artists including Dario Brabo and Gervasio have adapted these stories into a visceral, accessible comic format. Each volume focuses on a single disaster—from the sinking of the Titanic to the attacks of September 11—blending factual research with a gripping, character-driven survival narrative. The series matters for making history feel immediate and personal to a new generation of readers.
