Nation by Terry Pratchett

Mau is a young island boy on the verge of passing his "test" to become a man in the eyes of his people. Suddenly, he has everything he knows wiped out by a giant wave. Stranded on his island, Mau discovers he is not alone when a girl from the other side of the world named Daphne appears - the only survivor of a shipwreck. The two struggle with communication issues as well as survival while Daphne awaits rescue. Suddenly, more and more people begin showing up and Mau is thrust into being a leader and keeping these people protected from the natural dangers of the island and a rowdy band of pirates looking to take over.
