I Survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011: Lauren Tarshis

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?
