I Survived The Great Molasses Flood, 1919 (I Survived #19)

De: Lauren Tarshis

Narrado por: Jesse Vilinsky

One hundred years ago, a killer wave of molasses struck a crowded Boston neighborhood. Discover the story of this strange disaster in the next book in the New York Times best-selling I Survived series.

There were warning signs that the molasses tank would break. The steel sides moaned and groaned. Molasses oozed from its seams. But the people of Boston's North End - mostly poor immigrants - were powerless to complain to the big molasses company. On a bright January day in 1919, the tank finally broke and almost three million gallons of molasses rushed the neighborhood. At 15 feet tall, 160 feet wide, and traveling at 35 miles per hour, the gooey wave was more destructive than any flood of water would have been. Lauren Tarshis tells the riveting story of one child who was swept up in the sticky storm and lived to tell the tale.

Great Performance on a tale of an obscure disaster

I have read & listened to several I Survived books in the series by now but I especially enjoyed the narration for this one. Plus, the main female character was Italian so incorporating the accent into her performance was a good touch.

I had never even heard of this man-made disaster before reading the title of the book, so I learned quite a bit from this entertaining tale of historical fiction. Thoroughly recommend it for all ages. It was a very relatable and gripping tale from beginning to end.

Awesome Book
