If your elementary school is anything like ours then the I Survived series of books by Lauren Tarshis is a hot commodity.

Educators love the books because they engage kids with non-fiction elements and kids love them because they have characters that they can relate to. Until now, the I Survived series have been books with a couple of illustrations. This graphic novel, by definition, is going to speak to that audience that likes things in a more visual format.
