Explanation Supposing Books Elephant Run

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.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Elephant Run

We read this in my teen book group at work. Those of us who read it enjoyed the story and especially the setting in Burma circa WWII. Good characterizations, especially the Monk, Hilltop, the Japanese sergeant, whose name I don't remember, and the elephant, Hannibal. The ending was a little too neat for my liking but didn't seem to bother the teens in my group.



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

After the London apartment in which Nick Freestone lives with his mother and stepfather is bombed during World War II, Nick is sent to live with his father in Burma. Unfortunately, by the time he arrives at his fathers teak plantation, it is obvious that the Japanese are going to take over the country. Nicks father is determined to get Nick out of the country and to safety in Australia, but before that can happen, the Japanese arrive and take everyone captive. Nicks father is sent to a work

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

It's 1941 and World War II is literally at Nick's doorstep in London. In an effort to keep Nick safe, his mother sends him to live with his father on a teak plantation in Burma. Unfortunately, the Japanese army arrives just after Nick does, literally making him a prisoner in his own home. After ten brutal months, Nick decides it's time for an escape and to try to rescue his father, who is being held at a POW camp.This is such a different look at WWII. I am so used to just reading about the war

I know what you're thinking right now, "Elephant Run" is a weird title for a book. Well that's what I thought too about the title when I read it. But just to tell you, your minds going to change after reading this. The genre of this book is historical fiction since it takes place in 1941 and that it is not true. I think this a super interesting book with lots of action.This book takes place in two places, India & Japan. In 1941 Nick Freestone lives in London where bombs are landing
