The disaster felt around the world...

It's hard enough that Ben is visiting Japan only four months after his dad's death, especially since it's where his dad grew up. But one morning, Ben's grief turns to fear when a massive earthquake rocks the quiet coastal village where he's staying. His family narrowly escapes a collapsing house, only to find that the ocean is rising up. Ben and his family are swept away -- and pulled apart -- by a devastating tsunami.

Now Ben is alone, stranded in an unfamiliar country thousands of miles from home. Can he find enough courage and strength to survive one of the most epic disasters of all time?
