Running Wild

Description

The epic and heart-rending jungle adventure from a master storyteller

‘One of those novels that you know from the start is going to break your heart’ The Times

A surprise trip to Indonesia seems the perfect holiday for Will and his mum. That is, until the elephant he is riding along the beach, Oona, spooks and begins trumpeting at the sea. As Will sees a huge wave, a tsunami, crashing in, Oona runs into the jungle with Will holding on for dear life.

With nothing but the clothes on his back and both parents surely lost, Will wonders if there is much left for him in the world. But with Oona beside him, the jungle might turn out not to be so lonely . . .
