A powerful novel-in-verse about how one teen boy survives the March 2011 tsunami that devastates his coastal Japanese village. Successfully captures the raw emotions of loss, grief, and what it means to move forward. On the day the tsunami strikes, Kai loses nearly everyone and everything he cares about. But a trip to New York to meet kids whose lives were changed by 9/11 gives him new hope and the chance to look for his estranged American father.
