Written at the Junior High School level, it is a first-hand account of a boy, his brother and his cat surviving the horrible flood and devastation of a monster tsunami. Only 100 pages long, a twelve-year-old would have little trouble finishing the book and could easily identify with the terror the boy experienced. However, for an adult reader, it lacks the adult vocabulary and perspective needed to make this more than a children’s book, despite the gravitas of the situation. I could not recommend this for adults to read about the 2011 disaster that struck Japan.
