"The Hamster and the Gecko" is a story of natural disaster, human tragedy, fortitude, and hope. Juppun, a Golden hamster beloved by his 12-year-old companion Yu-chan, and Pippa, a Madagascar gecko born and raised in a local pet shop, are washed out to sea by the terrible tsunami that hit the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011.
Yu-chan's family suffers the loss of their grandmother and house in Soma city. They reluctantly accept the fact that Juppun was also lost in the tragedy. The enormity of the destruction and the radioactive fallout from the Daiichi nuclear power plant require the family to relocate to Hawaii, where Yu-chan's mother Kiyoko, gets a job at the University of Hawaii Marine Research Center.
Kiyoko and her colleagues become increasingly alarmed about the estimated thirty million tons of debris created by the tsunami; a large portion of which is being driven southeasterly by ocean currents. They fear that if the wreckage is not cleaned up, it will come ashore all along the Hawaiian archipelago, causing another environmental and economic disaster of gigantic proportions. They struggle to create awareness and to get the people of Hawaii to take action.
As the family rebuilds its life in Hawaii, they are unaware that Juppun is slowly heading in their direction, living on a floating pile of debris. Juppun, a courageous and clever hamster makes the best of his life on the island of wreckage. He builds a home, grows a garden, and learns to enjoy the taste of raw shrimp. He rescues Pippa from a marauding flock of seabirds and even though they are completely different in character, they become best friends. Juppun longs to be with his family once again and Pippa dreams of someday living "A Charmed Life."

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this short fictional book about the aftermath of the Japan tsunami. It is on one hand, a delightful tale of friendship and pulling together in adversity, and on the other hand, an informative book on the dangers of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. I'm surprised it hasn't received more reviews.Product details

The Hamster and the Gecko A Survivors' Story edition by RK Raker Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I read the book in print form because it was a gift from a friend. So glad to read another positive and interesting book after Sealand 1001 by author Raker. The author's plan to address ocean trash and tsunami debris involves a billionaire donating all necessary funds for a multi-stage, long-term recovery. For author Raker who discloses his battle with ALS since 2006, I would wish a billionaire donating all necessary funds for multi-stage research, treatments, and CURES for ALS -Lou Gehrig's Disease. Anyhow, great book, fun to read, very educational.
This was a wonderful story about a Hamster and a Gecko who survive the terrible tsunami that hit the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011, by floating across the ocean on a huge pile of debris, one piece of tons that are floating away from the Japanese coastline.. Although a fictional story, the author has given us some amazing facts of what could happen as the debris from this devastation reaches the shores of Hawaii and western States of the USA. The story goes between the Hamsters owner and what happened to that family and his (hamsters) friendship with the gecko, they make a home grow a garden are able to communicate a share an unusual friendship on this pile of rubbish.The story, is about survival, friendship, hope and the history of what happened in Japan. So cleverly written and a wonderful story. This is a great book for any age.
