An epic and heart-rending jungle adventure from the bestselling author of Kaspar and Born to Run.
For Will and his mother, going to Indonesia isn't just a holiday. It's an escape, a new start, a chance to put things behind them - things like the death of Will's father.
And to begin with, it seems to be just what they both needed. But then Oona, the elephant Will is riding on the beach, begins acting strangely, shying away from the sea. And that's when the tsunami comes crashing in, and Oona begins to run. Except that when the tsunami is gone, Oona just keeps on running.
With nothing on his back but a shirt and nothing to sustain him but a bottle of water, Will must learn to survive deep in the jungle. Luckily, though, he's not completely alone…
He's got Oona.

REVIEWS
""Lara Jean's personality - goofy, awkward, prone to strong emotions,
and entirely naive when it comes to boys - give this touching
story an individuality and charm all its own. Han creates a realistically
flawed cast, especially half-Korean Lara Jean and her
sisters, who work hard to be good to one another after their mother's
death (even when they're at one another's throats)."" - Publishers
