Through narrative nonfiction text, readers hear stories from survivors of the earthquake and tsunami that struck more than a dozen countries in the Indian Ocean in 2004. Additional features to aid comprehension include a table of contents, a fast-fact section, fact-filled captions and callouts, a time line of the disaster, infographics, a glossary, a listing of source notes, sources for further research, and an introduction to the author.
