Overview

During the heart-stopping events of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, one boy struggles to make it out alive. The I Survived series continues with a terrifying recent international disaster.

Eleven-year-old Japanese-American Owen has been in Japan for his sixth-grade year.

But early one morning, everything changes--and Owen suddenly finds himself just trying to survive one of history's most devastating disasters.
