I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967: A Graphic Novel (I Survived Graphic Novel #5) (I Survived Graphix)

A gripping graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis’s bestselling I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 , with text adapted by Georgia Ball and art by Berat Pekmezci. No grizzly has ever killed a human in Glacier National Park before… until tonight. Eleven-year-old Melody Vega and her family come to Glacier every year. Mel loves it here ― the beautiful landscapes and wildlife make it easy to forget her real-world troubles. But this year is different. With Mom gone, every moment in the park is a reminder of the past. Then Mel comes face-to-face with a mighty grizzly. She knows basic bear safety: Don’t turn your back. Don’t make any sudden movements. And most importantly: Don’t run. That last one is the hardest for Mel; she’s been running from her problems all her life. If she wants to survive tonight, she’ll have to find the courage to face her fear. Based on the real-life grizzly attacks of 1967, this bold graphic novel tells the story of one of the most tragic seasons in the history of America’s national parks ― a summer of terror that forever changed ideas about how grizzlies and humans can exist together in the wild. Lauren Tarshis’s New York Times bestselling I Survived series comes to vivid life in graphic novel editions. Perfect for readers who prefer the graphic novel format, or for existing fans of the I Survived chapter book series, these graphic novels combine historical facts with high-action storytelling that’s sure to keep any reader turning the pages.
