• The cover shows a colorful, painterly scene beneath a fiery, smoke-filled sky: in the foreground, a young boy in ragged colonial clothing runs while glancing back at a burning New York Harbor, with ships aflame and thick smoke rising. Nearby, a line of British Redcoats raise bayonet-tipped muskets, signaling danger. At the top, I SURVIVED appears in large, distressed gray letters, with the subtitle The American Revolution, 1776 below.

Lauren Tarshis drops the American Revolution straight into high gear in this bestselling I Survived installment, where eleven-year-old Nathaniel Fox goes from dodging a cruel uncle to dodging Redcoats—no small upgrade. Suddenly in 1776 New York City, with British soldiers everywhere and escape looking unlikely, Nate finds himself swept into the chaos of a city on the brink of its biggest battle—proof that even in early NYC, life moved fast.
