I finished the book I Survived True Stories, by Lauren Tarshis . One of the stories in this book is about a tsunami that happens in Japan. Lots of buildings, roads and many homes are washed away. In one of the sections, the tsunami washed a boat onto a building. The main characters, Kamaishi, Kana and Fumiya have to evacuate their school and go on top of a car garage. Kamaishi is very smart and gives others ideas to help out during this tsunami.
In this section many families die and many people died because of the tsunami. Also in this section an earthquake happens right before the tsunami. It was the biggest earthquake to hit the country since 1933. Also, fires even started while the water flowed through the streets and city.
I think that this book was very great. This book was filled with action and gave a very good description too of what happened during these true events. I recommend this book to anyone who would like My Side Of The Mountain. Both books are filled with action and survival. For example it says that some of the waves were 133 feet high.
Will they make it out alive or die in the lurking waters

ReplyDeleteGreat review Ethan I like how you included the details about the tsunami like how it was 133 feet tall and the largest earthquake hit Japan before it. I wish you would have included details about how Kamaishi was helping out others though. I think they will survive the tsunami.
