xI Survived the Great Alaska Earthquake, 1964 by Lauren Tarshis
I Survived the Great Alaska Earthquake, 1964 by Lauren Tarshis is a powerful historical survival story from bestselling author Lauren Tarshis. This gripping installment brings the largest recorded earthquake in U.S. history to life through an intense, emotional story of survival, courage, and resilience in the face of overwhelming natural disaster.
The Story: When the Ground Shatters
In 1964, Alaska is a newly established state—vast, wild, and beautiful, but also full of danger. Eleven-year-old Jack lives with his parents in a remote off-the-grid cabin, far from other people. Life in the wilderness is tough, but Jack considers himself “Alaska tough,” used to freezing winters, wildlife, and isolation.
Everything changes on Good Friday.
Without warning, the ground begins to shake. What starts as a tremor quickly escalates into the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in U.S. history—a massive 9.2 magnitude disaster that lasts nearly five minutes. Buildings collapse, land splits apart, and entire communities are devastated. In coastal areas, towering tsunamis surge inland, wiping out towns and reshaping the coastline.
Caught in the middle of chaos, Jack must use every bit of strength and courage he has to survive a disaster that is reshaping Alaska—and the world.
