I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944 (I Survived #9)

The "I Survived" series has captured my daughter's imagination. It isn't too often that she will sit down without a timer on and just read until she feels like getting up. I have seen her finish one of these books in a day. Not at all common for her. The author actually spoke at my daughter's school and that may have helped solidify my girl's interest. Her 4th grade teacher also had most of the books in this series available in her classroom, so the availability was a contributing plus. The subject matters chosen are fascinating and the characters created hold her attention. She has read the entire series so far and her favorites are: "I Survived the Gettysburg War" (war? who knew?) and "I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic". I hope that Lauren Tarshis keeps on churning these out because it helped turn my non-reader into a certified reader. And that, my friends, is a life-long blessing in this age of ipads & tablets.

I actually read the book myself. I bought two copies. One I gave to my grandson...and hope he will share with the other grandkids when he's done. Or I just might buy them their own copy. This is a fictional story based on true facts. It is a story that is both terrifying, horrific based on what happened during those terrible war years in occupied Nazi territory. It is a book that will help young readers understand that particular war. It will also help them understand that good does win over evil, and thankfully the evil doers were defeated in this war. It teaches also what is tolerance, anti-Semitism, bigotry. What happens when people who are culturally different do not get along. It teaches that we must stand up for our fellow men against this kind of evil. It teaches that hopefully what happened during that time period never happens again. Anyone who wants their children to really enjoy reading, should order these I Survive books.

I’ve read it 10 times already

"Actually a very good book. I wasn't living back then but now I know some things that happened back then!" -my 9 year old autistic son He loves the "I Survived" books because they interest him. I love them because they are building a love for reading AND they open the door of knowledge about different historical events which opens teachable conversations. There isn't a lot of meat but it is a great intro for a young kid.

Grandson wanted, Amazon had it shipped, I gave it for a Christmas gift and he loved it. All is good. Only reason for 4 star is that I never give 5 stars cause like me we all can do better. Thanks Amazon!

love it So good it is the best one of the series would recommend to anyone who likes historical action

Very interesting

Anything that will encourage kids to pick up a book and read is worth the investment. We had bought the set of "I survived" books for Christmas and were pleased that my grandson eagerly looked forward to reading them. He would read to me at times as we were riding in the car and it always resulted in a lively discussion of the events. As soon as this book was available we ordered it and he couldn't wait to read it. It also earned him AR points at his school.

Una manera de ensenarles a los ninos historia en un lenguaje y a nivel que ellos comprenden seria sensacional que los pudieran imprimir en espanol..... lo recomiendo ampliamente...

The book is very interesting

My 9 years old daughter is collecting these books. She loves these.

Esta es la opinión del libro de mi hijo de 10 años, que lo leyó para practicar su inglés: "Al principio la historia me pareció un poco aburrida, pero en seguida se puso muy interesante y me ha gustado mucho. Además he aprendido historia y nuevo vocabulario en inglés".
