Bookroo's summary

Ben visits his late father's hometown in Japan, only to face a massive earthquake and tsunami that tear his family apart. Stranded and alone in a foreign land, Ben must navigate the chaos and find the strength to survive. Will he reunite with his family, or will the disaster claim everything he holds dear? As the waters rise, so do the stakes in this gripping tale of resilience and hope.

From the publisher

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?
