The disaster felt around the world . . .
Visiting his dad's hometown in Japan four months after his father's death would be hard enough for Ben. But one morning the pain turns to fear: first, a massive earthquake rocks the quiet coastal village, nearly toppling his uncle's house. Then the ocean waters rise and Ben and his family are swept away-and pulled apart-by a terrible tsunami.
Now Ben is alone, stranded in a strange country a million miles from home. Can he fight hard enough to survive one of the most epic disasters of all time?

Another entry from the “I Survived...” series:
Again, I appreciate the human element coming through the narrative. Tarshis does a nice job of crafting a story that doesn't get in the way of the gravity of the situation. With this one, I appreciate the focus on the widespread destruction of the tsunami. It's easy to overlook anything associated with the wave not connected to Fukushima Diiachi.
