I SURVIVED THE SHARK ATTACKS OF 1916 by Lauren Tarshis

Chet Roscow is a 10 year old boy living In Elm Hills, New Jersey in 1916.At that time scientists didn't study sharks so people thought they were harmless.  In the summer of 1916, there were shark attacks in a creek and at the shore in New Jersey.

Chet Roscow was in conflict with the townspeople and a shark.

Chet got bumped by a shark while swimming in the creek so he told the townspeople, but no one believed him.

Chet learned not to prank people. He became close friends with people he barely knew.  He got bitten by a shark shark and had part of his leg chewed off.

Chet is my age and we both enjoy swimming with our friends.

I SURVIVED HURRICANE KATRINA by Lauren Tarshis

This book is about a boy named Barry in Louisiana struggling against  hurricane Katrina. His family was about to move somewhere safe, but his sister got ill. Barry was safe in the house when a strong wind pushed him to the water. Now Barry is fighting against the fierce storm.

Barry was pushed by the strong wind in the storm, sending him to land somewhere way away from his family. No he has to fight against he hurricane.

In the beginning Barry was kind of afraid of the storm, like when he woke up water rushed into the house when the storm was beginning to get worse. Now Barry is getting braver in the story, like when he got some food when water snakes were roaming in the water.

I do not relate o this because I was not wept away by the wind into a hurricane.
