Book description
Discover the beautiful stories of Michael Morpurgo, author of Warhorse
and the nation's favourite storyteller
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. Michael Morpurgo OBE is one of Britain's best loved
writers for children. He has written over 100 books and won many prizes,
including the Smarties Prize, the Whitbread Award and the Blue Peter
Book Award.
