500    First published in 2018 in Great Britain as Flamingo Boy 
       by HarperCollins Children's Books. 
520    In the unique landscape of the Camargue in the South of 
       France during WW2, a young autistic boy lives on his 
       parents' farm among the salt flats and the flamingos that 
       live there. There are lots of things he doesn't understand,
       but he does know how to heal animals. He loves routine and
       music too; every week he goes to market with his mother, 
       to ride his special horse on the town carousel. But then 
       the Germans come, with their guns, and take the town. A 
       soldier shoots a flamingo from the sky and it falls to 
       earth terribly injured. And even worse is to come: the 
       carousel is damaged, the horses broken. For this 
       vulnerable boy, everything is falling apart. Only there's 
       a kind sergeant among the Germans -- a man with a young 
       boy of his own at home, a man who trained as a carpenter. 
       Between them, perhaps boy and man can mend what has been 
       broken -- and maybe even the whole town. 
521 1  Ages 8+.
