  • "Na het overlijden van zijn vader, gaat Will (9, ik-figuur) met zijn moeder naar Indonesië. Tijdens een ritje op een olifant, wordt de kust getroffen door een tsunami. De olifant rent met Will de jungle in. Vanaf ca. 10 jaar."
  • "When 10-year-old Will's father dies in the Iraq war, his mother surprises him with a trip to Indonesia. But little could she have known what awaited them both there. The first Will knows that anything is wrong is when Oona, the elephant he is riding along the beach, begins to spook. Then, suddenly, she takes off into the jungle with Will on her back. And that's when Will sees the wave come crashing in! With his mother almost certainly drowned, with nothing to cling onto but an elephant and nothing to help him but the clothes on his back, Will faces a terrifying future. But maybe the jungle, and Oona the elephant, can help him!"
  • "Will and his mother have come to Indonesia to start a new life since the death of his father. But when a tsunami leaves Will stranded in the jungle with a bottle of water and his elephant, he must learn how to survive."
  • "An epic and heart-rending jungle adventure from the bestselling author of Kaspar and Born to Run."@en
  • "Après la mort de son père, soldat en Irak, Will et sa mère partent en Indonésie pour tenter d'apaiser leur chagrin. Alors que le jeune garçon se promène à dos d'éléphant sur la plage, celui-ci, paniqué, s'enfuit en direction de la jungle. C'est alors qu'une vague gigantesque déferle, emportant tout sur son passage. Désormais orphelin, Will doit apprendre à vivre seul avec Oona, l'éléphante."
  • "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."
