Eleven-year-old Jack had grown up living happily with his parents in an off-the-grid cabin, miles from their closest neighbors. But then the most powerful earthquake in American history--the Good Friday Earthquake--struck. The 9.2 magnitude quake lasted nearly five minutes, destroying downtown Anchorage and sending 30-foot tsunamis into coastal cities, wiping out entire communities. Its vibrations were felt around the world. In the end, it caused billions of dollars in damage and the death of 129 people.Includes a section of nonfiction backmatter with more facts and photos about the real-life event.8 a600LbLexile3 aDecoding demand: 82 (very high)aSemantic demand: 98 (very high)aSyntactic demand: 82 (very high)aStructure demand: 87 (very high)bLexile 0aAlaska Earthquake, Alaska, 1964vJuvenile fiction. 0aBoysvJuvenile fiction. 0aSurvivalvJuvenile fiction. 0aAlaskavJuvenile fiction.1 aDawson, Scott,eillustrator.1 aTarshis, Lauren.tI survived ;v23.
