Ten Second Review
Set in the days of pirates and tall ships, a young girl finds herself on a tiny island after a massive tidal wave devastates the Pacific.  There, she finds a native survivor who has lost his entire tribe.  Together, they struggle to survive, communicate and rebuild their lives.
This is a terrific book that explores many difficult topics.  
The author has a fun, easy-to-read style so the book never feels preachy.  
This book should have wide appeal for both boys and girls.
Notes
Terry Pratchett is best known for his Discworld series.
Learning Curve
Low: Good for new readers
