In 1941, bombs drop from the night skies of London, demolishing the apartment Nick Freestone lives in with his mother. Deciding the situation in England is too unstable, Nick's mother sends him to live with his father in Burma, hoping he will be safer living on the family's teak plantation. But as soon as Nick arrives, trouble erupts in this remote Burmese elephant village. Japanese soldiers invade, and Nick's father is taken prisoner. Nick is stranded on the plantation, forced to work as a servant to the new rulers. As life in the village grows more dangerous for Nick and his young friend, Mya, they plan their daring escape. Setting off on elephant back, they will risk their lives to save Nick's father and Mya's brother from a Japanese POW camp. In this thrilling journey through the jungles of Burma, Roland Smith explores the far-reaching effects of World War II, while introducing readers to the fascinating world of wild timber elephants and their mahouts.

Evaluation Epithetical Books Elephant Run

The Blitz is raging, and Nick's mother sends him away from the dangers of London to the relative safety of his father's plantation in the midst of the Burmese jungle. Nick loves the plantation and has greatly missed it, his father and the elephants in the years that he lived with his mother and step-father. But Nick's stay in Burma is anything but peaceful. The war has followed him to southeast Asia; the Japanese are taking over the continent, and many of the Burmese workers on the plantation

One of my favorite books! Love how Roland Smith writes! In every book of his, he has lots of action and different cultures or learning. I just love all the adventure!

To protect him from the bombing in London, fourteen year-old Nick is sent to live on his father's plantation in Burma a few days before the Japanese invade during World War II.

This was considered a YA book, but it had words that were definitely a higher level and was over 300 pgs. I learned a lot about the Burmese culture & how timber elephants were used and integrated in village life. It had action & adventure, I enjoyed this book

When he arrives, he sees that there is a bit of an issue with the Japanese taking over Asia, due to their slogan Asia for Asians. When Nick sees his father, he confirms that there is an issue with Japan and that Nick may not be

Elephant Run is one of the greatest non-fiction books I have ever read. Although I had some doubt in the beginning, the book really pulled through in the third or fourth chapter. Also I likes how the author really describes the characters. The book start off in London during World War 2 were a boy named Nick Freestone. Nick lives with his mom because of his parents divorce. After Nicks apartment was bombed, his mother didnt think that it was safe for him in London so she shipped him off to his
