Step into History and Discover Incredible Stories of Survival

Travel through some of history’s most dramatic moments with Coolabee and meet courageous young characters who must think quickly, stay strong and find hope when everything around them changes.

The I Survived Series Collection 22 Books Set, available within Coolabee’s children’s historical fiction range, brings together the first twenty two books from Lauren Tarshis’s popular I Survived series. Each story places a fictional young character at the centre of a real historical disaster or major event, creating an exciting reading experience filled with danger, courage, resilience and unforgettable moments.

From the sinking of the Titanic and the destruction of Pompeii to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hurricane Katrina and the California wildfires, this collection allows children to experience history through fast moving and emotionally engaging adventures. Readers can discover what life may have felt like during these extraordinary events while learning how ordinary people found the strength to survive.

For families exploring gripping historical stories at Coolabee, this twenty two book collection offers an accessible and exciting way to introduce young readers to important moments from the past. The stories combine suspense, relatable characters and carefully researched historical settings, helping children connect with history through personal experiences rather than dates and facts alone.

The books are ideal for independent reading, classroom libraries, home learning and family discussions. Short chapters, dramatic plots and cliffhanger moments encourage children to keep reading as each character faces danger, uncertainty and difficult choices.
