Reviews
Gr 4-5-Graphic novel format brings these stories to life visually, with action-packed scenes of shark attacks, shipwrecks, and plane crashes. Red text indicates when historical quotes are used within the story of each harrowing adventure. Panel layout varies to maintain interest, but the flow of the narrative is easy to follow. Back matter includes a map showing the location of the incident or the route to safety and a bulleted list of additional facts about each figure. Time lines show the start of each story, major points along the way, and the date each individual returned to their lives. A list of suggested books for further reading is provided. The publisher's Factsurfer website offers readers access to additional content for each title. VERDICT These books will appeal to reluctant readers and thrill seekers alike with limited text and captivating images.α(c) Copyright 2011.
