We have struggled getting my 9yr old son to read over the past couple of years. He just wasn't interested and it has been a struggle. He stumbled accross the I survived series and he doesn't want to put the book down. I think he finds the story exciting, and relates to the characters. He loves talking about it after he's done reaading. This is a mother's dream! I only wish there were more books in the series!

I bought this book through Amazon when I saw an elementary boy reading it. I really like the book! It's fast and easy to read, and based on (and includes) real happenings. There are two more books in the series, too, which I am also getting: "I survived the sinking of the Titanic," and "I survived Hurricane Katrina."
In this book Chet is living with his uncle in a new town, and going to a new school. He feels alone and unloved. He starts to feel accepted by a group of boys until they play a prank on him. That really hurts, but his uncle tells him that that is the way of boys: They play a prank on you, so now you play one back on them to show you're ready to be friends! Chet does, but it backfires; they can't handle it and stop playing with him.
Frustrated, Chet goes to their swimming hole to clean it up. Then he sees (and is almost grabbed) by a shark. However, no one believes him when he goes running into town--except one old captain. The formerly friendly boys joke about it, even "tempting" the shark--which they don't believe is real--by jumping in the creek. But...then guess who comes along, and guess who rescues the boys!
The pictures in this book are absolutely well-drawn as well.
