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+.
