I Survived: The Battle of D-Day, 1944 is a gripping graphic novel introducing readers to the gritty, high-stakes reality of the days leading up to the D-Day landings and those involved in the top-secret French resistence. It is the perfect addition to any Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 3 Second World War collection.
It’s June 1944. Paul Colbert’s village of Le Roc, France has been under Nazi control for some time. His Jewish best friend has disappeared and nothing is like it used to be. When Paul comes across an American paratrooper stuck in a tree, his life is about to change forever. He learns of a secret resistence movement that is trying to stop the Nazi’s from succeeding.
Paul finds himself in the middle of the action. There is real danger all around. He witnesses shootings, explosions and murder. Adults should be mindful of this when sharing this book with sensitive children.
This series of graphic novels shows readers how everyday people made a real difference in history.
