A Million Shades of Grey - Thryft
A Million Shades of Grey - Thryft

Young elephant handler's perilous journey in war.

If you’re drawn to tales that weave coming-of-age trials with the threads of historical conflicts, "A Million Shades Of Grey" will resonate with you. It captures the bond between a boy and his elephant amidst the backdrop of war, offering a poignant glimpse into bravery, survival, and the complexities of life during wartime. Tin’s adventures are as heart-wrenching as they are inspiring, making this a distinctive pick for those interested in narratives about personal growth and the human-animal connection.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Ever since Tin can remember he's wanted to be an elephant trainer. At twelve years old, he's the youngest - and in his eyes the best - elephant handler in his village. Tin can think of nothing he'd rather do than spend all day with his elephant, Lady, looking after her and playing together. But Tin's peaceful, idyllic life is changed dramatically when the Viet Cong attack his village and he finds himself held hostage by the terrifying soldiers who don't care if he lives or dies. Can Tin find the courage to escape from his captors and save not only his own life, but his precious elephants too? Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
