One hundred years ago, a killer wave of molasses struck a crowded Boston neighborhood. Discover the story of this strange disaster in the next book in the New York Times bestselling I Survived series.

It's been four years since Carmen and Papa moved from Italy to Boston. Life here is exciting, but not always easy. And then there's the massive metal tank that rises up over their crowded North End neighborhood. The ugly tank, filled with sticky brown molasses, has always leaked. But nobody imagined that it could one day explode apart, sending a tsunami of molasses into the streets. Caught in the flood, Carmen must fight for her life - the life that she and Papa built together in America. But where will she find the strength?

      Narrator Jesse Vilinsky chronicles the tragedy of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 in a passionate yet reverent voice. The story follows 12-year-old Carmen, who has immigrated to Boston from Italy with her papa. She and her friends often play near the molasses tank in town until the day it explodes, flooding her neighborhood. Vilinsky easily transitions to the youthful voices of Carmen and her friends, who walk listeners through the events of the catastrophic day. After the story comes to a close, the audiobook includes more about the disaster and the author's research. Listeners will be drawn into the fast-paced events of that horrific day.
