Just gave you magazine-quality images of a specific animal, told you where it lived, what it ate, and if humans are killing it. Now, the vehicle for animal facts is a historical tragedy wrapped in fictional family drama. I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 just doesn't pack quite the same punch as other entries in the I Survived... series (that should come to no surprise, when other books concern 9/11 and WW2). It feels like a tragedy at the center of changes concerning the culture of American life in National Parks could have played a larger role, but the story feels more interested in a fictional girl's dead mother. I'm harping on it more than it deserves, I think. My kids and I are still new to this series, but I appreciate them for what they're trying to say. And the timelines and fact-checking epilogues are a nice touch for those wanting to get back to the old days when you were just spoon-fed information from animal magazines. no reviews | add a review

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. No library descriptions found. |
