Book Review: ELEPHANT RUN

This morning I finished reading Elephant Run by Roland Smith.

When Nick Freestone's apartment in London is bombed, his mother sends him to his father's teak plantation in Burma. It is 1941, and the Japanese are looking to start a fight. Soon after Nick arrives in Burma they come and his father is taken as a prisoner of war. Together, Nick and Mya have to find a way to escape the Japanese and rescue Mr. Freestone and Mya's brother before it is too late.

This book was a little slow in the beginning, but it really got better as I turned the pages. This story incorporates a lot of facts about elephants, World War 2, and Burma, which is now Myanmar. It was easy reading, but a great book nonetheless.
