Yes, the ‘I Survived’ books are considered historical fiction. These books are written by Lauren Tarshis and are aimed at young readers. Each book in the series focuses on a significant historical event, such as the sinking of the Titanic, the September 11 attacks, or the Battle of Gettysburg. The stories are told through the eyes of a child protagonist who experiences these events firsthand. While the main characters and their personal stories are fictional, the historical events, settings, and many of the secondary characters are based on real facts. This blend of fictional storytelling with real historical events is what makes the ‘I Survived’ series a great example of historical fiction. The books not only entertain but also educate young readers about important moments in history.
