I Survived the Joplin Tornado, 2011

I Survived, Book 12

By: Lauren Tarshis

Narrated by: Thérèse Plummer

The next book in the New York Times best-selling I Survived series will place listeners right in the middle of the deadly Joplin Tornado of 2011.

A catastrophic tornado struck Joplin, Missouri, in 2011. It was part of a larger tornado outbreak in the spring of that year, and reached a maximum width of nearly one mile during its path through the southern part of the city, killing 158 people, and injuring over 1,000. It caused damages amounting to $2.8 billion, making it the costliest single tornado in US history. Lauren will bring her signature intensity to this distinctly American natural disaster, placing a young boy in the middle of one of the deadliest tornadoes to strike the United States since 1947.

I love it

I listen to it while I was doing school it was a bunch of fun.

Best I survived

I agree with the other comments, this story kept my son interested, even I wanted to keep listening. Very good story and the narrator has a good reading voice.

I think this is a good book cause all the detail.

Drop the tornado is a great book because of all the details and the fact that gives us information more information.
