I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 places Melody inside the real season that changed how Glacier National Park understood human-bear encounters. Grizzly behavior, visitor choices, and the problem of sharing wild habitat determine both her danger and the historical lesson.

The science inside

  • Animals & Zoology
  • Ecosystems

Your child will meet:

  • A grizzly's behavior reflects food, space, surprise, cub protection, and prior contact with people rather than human ideas about malice.
  • Human food and campsite practices can change wildlife behavior and increase dangerous encounters.
  • Wildlife policy changes when repeated evidence shows that existing visitor and habitat practices are unsafe.

Use it this way

At Melody's first encounter, separate what the bear does from what Melody assumes the bear intends, then compare her choices with the book's factual account of the 1967 policy changes. Check current park guidance because real bear safety varies by situation and should never be practiced with wildlife.

Parent effort: Simple activity

New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tackles the historic grizzly bear attacks in Glacier National Park in this latest installment of the groundbreaking I Survived series.

No grizzly has ever killed a human in Glacier before . . . until tonight. Eleven-year-old Melody Vega and her family come to Glacier National Park every year, and it's always been a place where she can forget her troubles. But this year is different. With Mom gone, every moment in the park is a heartbreaking reminder of the past.

Then Mel comes face-to-face with the mighty grizzly. Now her only thought is one of survival. Mel will soon be a part of one of the most tragic seasons in the history of America's national parks - a summer of terror that will forever change ideas about how grizzlies and humans can exist together in the wild.
