About Running Wild
When 10-year-old Will's father dies in the Iraq war, his mother surprises him with a trip to Indonesia. She couldn't have known what awaited them both there. The first Will knows that anything is wrong is when Oona, the elephant he is riding along the beach, begins to spook. Then, suddenly, she takes off into the jungle with Will on her back.

But maybe the jungle, and Oona the elephant, will help him
