Bookroo's summary

Lucas skips school to visit his uncle at the firehouse, seeking advice on his parents' decision to quit football. But as he arrives, a catastrophic event unfolds, thrusting him into chaos. With New York City under attack, Lucas must navigate the turmoil to find his family. Will he reunite with them, or will the day that changed the world change him forever? As the city crumbles, Lucas's courage and determination are put to the ultimate test.

From the publisher

On the day that shocks the world, one boy just wants to find his family. A powerful addition to the gripping I Survived series.The only thing Lucas loves more than football is his Uncle Benny, his dad’s best friend at the fire department where they both work. Benny taught Lucas everything about football. So when Lucas’s parents decide the sport is too dangerous and he needs to quit, Lucas has to talk to his biggest fan. So the next morning, Lucas takes the train to the city instead of the bus to school. It’s a bright, beautiful day in New York. But just as Lucas arrives at his uncle’s firehouse, everything changes – and nothing will ever be the same again.
