Description In Pursuance Of Books Running Wild
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.

This one was more simple reading for me.I know, I know, a childrens book! I thought I would give it a go. Maybe I was feeling a little nostalgic, I read a couple of his books when I was a lot younger.I actually enjoyed this book. I suppose for me it did feel a little bit rushed, but I think that is because I am used to reading larger books which tend to go on for a while, where as this is aimed at young people.It is about a boy called Will who goes to Indonesia with his
I adored this! I wasn't expecting to be so drawn into it as I was. Such a beautifully written book, not just for kids, but for everyone that wants to be inspired by true friendship and kindness.
In fairness I read a proof copy of this but the only way it could have been improved since is if it was put in a shredder. It couldn't be worse if Dan Brown rewrote it. It's just absolutely awful. I'm sorry about that, but it is. I feel bad leaving a review like this, and I tried very hard to find something positive about it, but I couldn't. All I could think was that the publisher has a cheek...Essentially there was something wrong on every page - from where a boy hasn't eaten for a couple of

I always thought if I were ever going to have an animal for a best friend it would be a unicorn. Thats until I was introduced to Oona. The worlds most devoted, caring and intelligent Elephant, and the best friend Will could ask for. I should probably warn you that this book is the tear jerker of all tear jerkers. If youre a fan of Morpurgo then this will come as no surprise. The man sure does have a knack for dealing with sensitive subject matter. The issues dealt with in Running Wild are
