Set in 1941, fourteen-year-old Nick is packed off from war-torn England to his father’s teak plantation in Burma. The Japanese invade his safe haven and turn the quiet mansion into their headquarters. If it weren’t for a rogue timber elephant, a roaming mysterious figure, and a sympathetic Japanese soldier, Nick and his father would still be prisoners or dead. (Grades 6 & Up)
