Book:Flamingo boy; Michael Morpurgo:2018 Book Flamingo boy; Michael Morpurgo
Flamingo boy; Michael Morpurgo
Author: Morpurgo, Michael
Year: 2018
Language: English
Type: Book
Class Number: JF
Category: Fiction
Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books, 2018
Physical or Electronic: Physical
ISBN: 9780008134655
Notes:
This novel is set in the unique landscape of the Camargue in the South of France during WWII. There, 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: and 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.
Extent: 288 pages, 20 cm, pbk
