His father has been sold as a gladiator. As Marcus misses his father and feels afraid of the strange earth tremors that have been shaking Pompeii. he wonders how the other residents of the city can just ignore the shaking, continuing on with Gladiator games and parades, shopping in the marketplace, and other daily activities like nothing is wrong. When the mountain starts spewing ash, rocks and heat, Marcus and his father warn the people of Pompeii and then attempt to escape. Can they get out of the city before the mountain explodes? This series is historical fiction written for middle-grade kids. Each book is a great mix of historical fact and fictionalized story. The main characters are children who tell eye-witness accounts of how they survived a dangerous event in history. Ranging from modern events like 9/11 to ancient disasters like the destruction of Pompeii, this series tells the tale in an age-appropriate way. This series could definitely be used in a classroom setting as supplemental reading on history, exciting stories to tempt reluctant readers or just as part of a classroom or school library. The books would also be great for reading out loud at home. As an adult, I enjoy reading middle-grade books as a bit of a break between heavier adult fiction. I love history so I enjoy this series just as much as most kids! :) I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii is the 10th book in this series. There are 16 books, with a 17th coming out in September 2018. Each book is about 100 pages long, so the length is perfect for middle-grade students or adults wanting a quick, entertaining read. Lauren Tarshis' I Survived series is enormously popular among the students at my school library. The Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79 is set shortly before the explosion of Mount Vesuvius. The story quickly unfolds, from the perspective of Marcus, a young slave boy who was separated from his father after their former master died. Now he's in Pompeii and the ground is shaking ominously. Marcus rediscovers his father, but his father is slated to fight in Pompeii's arena. It's a non-stop, suspenseful tale, sure to grip imaginations. This book was especially interesting to my son. He knows that all the I Survived books are historical fiction, based on events that truly happened. But this one was even more captivating because I was able to look up pictures of the destruction. He found them exciting and revolting at the same time. (I guess we all probably do, don't we? Like a train wreck....) Still, it was great reading about a young boy near my own son's age who managed to escape the tragedy! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
