Recommendations

I would not recommend this book, because:

  • The book was very short.
  • But also the flooding from the tsunami took days to retreat not 30 minutes as it was in the book. (The books timeline is rushed and not accurate.)
  • There was a lot of violence in the book, because so many people died from the tsunami.

Themes

  • The theme of the story is survival for a boy during the tsunami.
  • Basically, the whole I Survived series is about surviving a disaster.
  • I feel tense for Ben when the tsunami happened.

Most Important Characters

Plot Summary

  • Ben: The main character of the book.
  • Harry: Ben's brother. Harry likes their uncle's cat, Nya.
  • Mom: Ben and Harry's mom.
  • Ojisan: Ben and Harry's uncle (their dad's brother).
