I was a Middle School Reading, History, and English teacher for almost 30 years! How did I not know about this series?Īnother reviewer, Phillip, recommended one of the books in the series, and I decided to get them all from my library! This is the first one I have read!

A new addition to the series, I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, will be published in September 2018. I Survived the American Revolution is the 15th book in this series.

I have hearing loss, but was easily able to understand his narration. Graham reads at a nice pace with good inflection. Narrated by Holter Graham the book is about 2 hours long. I listened to the audio version of this story. The stories have a lot of action, so even reluctant readers will enjoy this series. The mix of historical fact and a fictionalized story involving a child eye-witness really bring the events to life. His struggle for survival amid the cannons and gunfire brings the Battle of Brooklyn alive! He ends up in the middle of a Revolutionary War battle instead. Nathaniel intends to join the crew of a ship and go to sea. Nathaniel runs away from the home of his Uncle, taking the blame for an injury to his uncle that a slave's child caused by accident. I Survived the American Revolution, 1776 is told from the perspective of 11-year old Nathaniel Knox from New York. From ancient history like the destruction of Pompeii to more recent events like the Joplin, MO tornado, the series mixes fact with fiction to bring history alive for middle-grade kids. Each book features a child's fictionalized eye-witness account of a disaster or major historical event.

This series is historical fiction for kids.
