Description
It's hard enough that Ben is visiting Japan only four months after his dad's death, especially since it's where his dad grew up. But one morning, Ben's grief turns to fear when a massive earthquake rocks the quiet coastal village where he's staying. His family narrowly escapes a collapsing house, only to find that the ocean is rising up. Ben and his family are swept away -- and pulled apart -- by a devastating tsunami.
Now Ben is alone, stranded in an unfamiliar country thousands of miles from home. Can he find enough courage and strength to survive one of the most epic disasters of all time?
Lauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series comes to life in this graphic novel edition. Perfect for readers who prefer the graphic novel format, or for existing fans of the I Survived chapter book series, these graphic novels combine historical facts with high-action storytelling that's sure to keep readers turning the pages. Includes a nonfiction section at the back with facts and photos about the real-life event.
