Elephant Run

1942: Fourteen-year-old Nick Freestone is glad to leave war-torn London behind and return to his father's teak plantation in Burma, where he lived as a small child. There he meets Mya, an aspiring mahout whose family tends the plantation's elephants, and Hilltop, a mysterious monk. Then the Japanese army arrives. Nick becomes a prisoner in his own room, and his father is sent to a labor camp. With the help of Hilltop and a rogue elephant named Hannibal, Nick and Mya must escape and rescue their families.
