Description

A stunning new classic from master storyteller Michael Morpurgo for readers of 9+, in the vein of PRIVATE PEACEFUL and THE BUTTERFLY LIONThis is a landmark new novel form the nation's favourite storyteller, set in the unique landscape of the Camargue in the South of France during WW2.

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...
