Do you remember the tsunami of 2004? It occurred in the Indian Ocean. More than 150,000 people were killed and millions were left homeless. This book was very exciting. I haven’t read it for a long time, but I’m pretty sure the tsunami in this book wasn’t as bad as the one in 2004. Read it and find out!
