About this listen
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.

A great book
My only regret is that it ended too soon and I mean that literally. It seemed the ending felt a bit rushed and could have been a little longer.

Just stunning
This book had our whole family hanging on each word… from our 5,10 &12 yr old sons to both of us parents. It was incredibly moving, heart wrenching, hopeful, intricate and spectacularly descriptive. Lovely to hear the author read his own book and hear his motivations at the conclusion. Couldn’t recommend enough!
