About this listen

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.

An enchanting tale, despite the fact that it has a very sad start.

Michael Murpurgo books are in the children’s category on audible,persoanlly I think this needs to be reviewed as so many people are missing out on this amazing author who can enchant young and old alike.

There is an added bonus that Mr Murpurgo narrates this book, so often this can be a recipe for disaster but not with this author.

I have listened and read to so many of his books and he never disappoints.

Never wrong with a Murpurgo book

Entertained whole family, though possibly the language is too adult for our kids. Our 7 yr old girl became more captured once in the jungle. Our 6yr old girl lost attention often unless we explained it to her. Nevertheless successful, interesting, and topical. Would recommend it!

Good family car-trip story
