The terrifying details of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake jump off the page!

Ten-year-old Leo loves being a newsboy in San Francisco -- not only does he get to make some money to help his family, he's free to explore the amazing, hilly city as it changes and grows with the new century. Horse-drawn carriages share the streets with shiny new automobiles, new businesses and families move in every day from everywhere, and anything seems possible.

But early one spring morning, everything changes. Leo's world is shaken -- literally -- and he finds himself stranded in the middle of San Francisco as it crumbles and burns to the ground. Does Leo have what it takes to survive this devastating disaster?

The I SURVIVED series continues with another thrilling story of a boy caught in one of history's most terrifying disasters!

outstanding book review! great job linus!

I survied The San Franscisco Earthquake was awsome. It was like I was in the earthquake. I loved the similies writen when the earthquake just began to rumble. I also liked when the narator told the storys of grandpop. The book was scary, funny, and action packed. I recomend it to all my friends.

I have not read this book yet but the book "I survived the sinking of the titanic" is a great book. it is by the same person that wrote this book! I recommend any of these books cause i asure you that they are great! thanks for reading!
