Bethany recommends "Zazoo"

Zazoo by Richard Mosher is a gentle and layered love story; one I have been meaning to read for a few years. Zazoo lives with in an old mill house next to a canal with Grand-Pierre, her adopted grandfather. Zazoo struggles with being different from the others in her French village and taking care of her failing Grand-Pierre. One day a young man comes and asks Zazoo to keep a secret for him. This sets off a chain of events in Zazoo's world some wonderful and some too painful to face.

This books is full of imagery and quiet moments while dealing delicately with harsh events of the World War II and Vietnam War. The book has appeal to teens and young adults but is also excellent to read for an adult.
