This is a very interesting book! It is a bit sad because of all of the deaths, but I really love the ending. My favourite characters are obviously the orang-utans! I recommend this to people who like adventure books

It was a very good and moving story. And I love how 3 pages of it is just about the farting elephant.

It was such a sad and gripping tale and Oona was my favroute character. I nearly cried when the mother died and i felt so bad for Will. The ending was great and i loved reading every part of the book, good and bad it was a wonerfull tale.

The sad tilde wave I praise Ona from saving will he didn’t deserve what he went through it opens my heart as Ona stayed with him as he got better. It also shows even in the roughly places there are nice people like the chef or the other one. But nasty people and animal cruelty I don’t agree with his choice at the endi would of gone with my grandparents they did anything to find him the deserved him back home there son there only son kild in war then there daughter in law kild in a tilde wave now they find out there only grandkid is alive but he refuses to go with them. They deserved him back home

An egsotic story of man kind animals will has a good way with animals it also shows the sadness of the title wave I love Michael morpogo because a lot of his books are to do with real things. As well a ver interesting consevetry to do with gorilla and the changes he faced to survive Ona was so kind to stay with him all through his recovery and how happy his grandparents where

This was a wonderfully descriptive book. The animals were described in great detail and the settings were very visual. I enjoyed the real life links the author described at the end of the book too with the Asian Tsunai and the Iraq war. The narrative of the story was very sad and this was a constant theme throughout the book.
