I Survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011 - #8

One boy struggles to survive during the heart-stopping events of the 2011 tsunami in Japan.

Eleven-year-old Japanese-American Owen has been in Japan for his sixth grade year. By March he finally feels like he's getting the hang of the new culture, making friends at school and feeling at home with the "weird" food. But early one morning, everything changes — and Owen suddenly finds himself just trying to survive one of history's most devastating disasters.
