Peter is a misfit- an awkward 12-year-old who’s mercilessly bullied in school and quietly ignored at home. Peter’s lonely life in small-town New Zealand is upended by the arrival of Charlie- a badass girl who might just be the friend Peter has been needing… But when Peter’s bull-headed commitment to the truth brings him into conflict with Gus- a troubled and violent classmate- things quickly spiral out of control and the two boys find themselves in a terrifying situation neither of them could have ever imagined. Drawn in a charming and disarmingly cartoony style and full of pitch-perfect dialogue- TSUNAMI is a devastating and hilarious coming-of-age story- a nuanced examination of adolescent alienation and the unpredictable consequences of our actions.TSUNAMI is smart- funny- honest- merciless- and real.”—Dylan Horrocks- author of Hicksville“Wenlock gets it. There is a very particular feeling in this book that displays the heart of person having to grow up... It’s a feeling that most of us have experienced but it fades and gets forgotten. Get that feeling back- even for a brief moment.”—Charles Forsman- author of TEOTFWWinner of NZ Book Award for Children and Young Adults – Best First Book
