What is Run about?

Answer 1

Elephant Run is a book by Roland Smith and it is About a Boy Named Nick Freestone who lives with his mother and step-father in London, until the bombing come. The story takes place in 1941, during world war one. Nick's mother thinks the situation in London is too unstable, so she sends him to live on his father's teak plantation in Burma, which is where the elephants come in. The teak is hauled by timber elephants. Nick just starts getting used to his new digs when the Japanese bring trouble. They invade Burma and Nick's father and his new friend Indaw, one of the elephant mahouts, and Nick's friend Mya's big brother, become prisoners of war. Nick and Mya are stranded at the plantation and made to be servants to the Japanese. This story tells of their adventures as they desperately try to escape. It is an awesome book!
