Summary:
The ocean has taken everything.
Thirteen-year-old Mau is the only one still left after a giant wave sweeps his island village away. But when very much is used, something is returned, and someplace in the jungle, Daphne-a girl from the various other side from the globe-is the only real survivor of a ship destroyed from the same wave.
Together, both confront the aftermath of catastrophe. And gradually, additional refugees arrive-children without parents, moms without infants, husbands without wives-all of them hungry and all of them frightened. As Mau and Daphne battle to keep the little band secure and given, they defy ancestral spirits, challenge death himself, and uncover a long-hidden top secret that literally turns the world upside down . .
Internationally revered storyteller Terry Pratchett presents a breathtaking adventure of survival and discovery, and of the courage required to forge fresh beliefs.
