Nation by Terry Pratchett

4.0

A boy in the South Pacific returning from a solo trip that marks his passage into manhood finds his village destroyed by a tsunami. He meets a British girl, also shipwrecked, and more survivors come to stay on their island. Together the survivors band together to form a new nation, and discover truths about their past, and the strength to stand up to those who would challenge them.
