Rendition Supposing Books Running Wild
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.Particularize Books Conducive To Running Wild

Key Themes: Respect for the environmentRelationships Grief My thoughts and reactions:1. Children's literature often forces its protagonists to depend upon their own resources and initiative. However, Running Wild offers a different preconception. Morpurgo tells to great effect, a story of a boy who is saved by an elephant during a tsunami. The plot follows Will, who is riding an elephant, Oona who sensed immediate danger and ran into the jungle, terrified and explores the theme of survival.2.Such a beautiful ,well written book.Really enjoyed it and it was quiet sad but was determined to finish it.This was the book that made me start reading actually and will definitely be buying my own copy.I recommend it to everyone.
A great story about a boy, and how an elephant saves the boy's life from terrible disasters. I could always visualizing what happened. The author, Michael Morpurgo, was very descriptive in this story. I was very surprised by the end, but I loved the end just as it was. I laughed out loud many many times in this story, as well as cried one or two times. The relantionship that Will, the boy, and Oona, the elephant, had was incredible. They were like best friends, and when they got seprated they

This could be one of the most depressing books I've ever read. From constant comments about elephant farting to the most unrealistic survival story imaginable. Morpurgo says at the end that he always wanted to write a book on Elephants. But then the Iraq war, the Boxing Day Tsunami and then an orangutan sanctuary made him say that he had to write the book???!!!
This was so depressing. I read it to my kids and none of us liked it.
