Tales of survival are as old as humanity! In Survival: True Stories, readers discover accounts of survival that required innovation, a thirst for adventure, and even a bit of brutality.

Survival is the second book in the Murder & Mayhem series, which features true tales that whet kids' appetites for history by engaging them in genres with proven track records--mystery and adventure.

Each of the true tales told in Survival are paired with interesting facts about the setting, the industry, and the time period.
