The books I am comparing are Man Eater, Crocodile Attack, Bushfire Rescue and Killer Whale and in each of these books there is some kind of danger. The author is Justin D’ath and the illustrator is Kane Miller. The genre is action and adventure mixed with a survival story. These books teach the reader about how to stay safe in dangerous situations. These books are interesting to read because there is a lot of danger happening all the time in each book.
In both the books Man Eater and Crocodile Attack, Sam is being attacked by wild animals. The main danger in Man Eater is a cheetah. While the main danger in Crocodile Attack is a big crocodile. Sam gets scared and tries to run from the danger but he ends up running closer to the danger. The lesson that I learned is that when you go somewhere you should be prepared for anything. In both of these books Sam is also alone when he is being attacked by the wild animals.
In Bush Fire and Killer Whale instead of going away from the danger Sam must go towards the danger. In Bushfire Rescue the danger is a wildfire. And in Killer Whale the danger is a Killer Whale. In Bushfire Rescue Sam survives when a wild bull drags him out of a barn while it is on fire. In Killer Whale, Sam survives by distracting the whale so he could swim to a nearby island. These two books show me that you should face your fears. Sam must use all his knowledge to survive the disasters.
In all four books Sam must try and survive some super hard challenges. Sam is a 14 year old boy who like to go on adventures.
Sam also has a lot of courage like when he went into a fire to save the animals. There was a lot of action and suspense in every book. For example, when Sam has to escape by swimming to an island in Killer Whale in the middle of the ocean. Or how in Crocodile Attack Sam must wrestle the crocodile to escape. These books teach me to think fast when in danger. A similarity that makes the books more enjoyable is that every book is a mystery and you do not know what will happen next.
Overall I like these books because you never know what is going to happen. It is always a big mystery. Man eater was my favorite book because it is the most thrilling. These books taught me that when hard things happen you should face them. And that I have to use all my skills and knowledge in order to survive. They also showed me that I need to think quick when danger happens. Readers that like action adventure and suspense would really like these books. I would definitely recommend these books to other readers. Overall I think that these book are fun thrilling books to read.
