A gripping graphic novel adaptation of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling I
Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967, with text adapted by
Georgia Ball and art by Berat Pekmezci.
No grizzly has ever killed a human in Glacier National Park before...
until tonight. Eleven-year-old Melody Vega and her family come to
Glacier every year. Mel loves it here -- the beautiful landscapes and
wildlife make it easy to forget her real-world troubles. But this year
is different. With Mom gone, every moment in the park is a reminder of
the past.
Then Mel comes face-to-face with a mighty grizzly. She knows basic bear
safety: Don't turn your back. Don't make any sudden movements. And most
importantly: Don't run.
That last one is the hardest for Mel; she's been running from her
problems all her life. If she wants to survive tonight, she'll have to
find the courage to face her fear.
Based on the real-life grizzly attacks of 1967, this bold graphic novel
tells the story of one of the most tragic seasons in the history of
America's national parks -- a summer of terror that forever changed
ideas about how grizzlies and humans can exist together in the wild.
