Nothing Black or White, only A Million Shades of Gray

Title: A Million Shades of Gray
Author: Cynthia Kadohata
Publication Date: January 2010
ISBN 13: 978-1416918837

A Million Shades of Gray is an excellent book!  Set in South Vietnam just after the Americans disengage from battle, this is the story of courage, strength, perseverance, faith, selflessness, and war.  Y'Tin, the youngest elephant handler in Vietnam, and his family are in danger because he belongs to a clan of people who corroborated with the Americans during the war.  Y'Tin soon learns that war never ends as his family seeks refuge by hiding in the jungle.  A poignant and very moving story of a young boy growing up at war.
