Grades 3-6 The series They Survived (6 titles) quickly pulls readers into unfathomable situations overcome by individuals both past and present. A brief introduction will have kids holding their breath as they turn the pages to learn about these amazing individuals and the hardships they endured. Readers will become part of Aron Ralston's fight for survival in Surviving a Canyon when his arm becomes pinned between a boulder and the canyon wall. Told in a fast-paced, exciting tone and filled with well-chosen photographs, these titles afford readers a realistic glimpse into the lives of incredible individuals and will inspire them to face their own hardships with resilience and hope. Titles include pages detailing survival gear used, such as a sextant when navigating (Surviving Antarctica) and a hydration pack (Surviving a Canyon), as well as recommendations for surviving deadly situations.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
