Publisher Comments

A powerful tale of war, redemption, and a hero's journey--now available in paperback!

In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay-red foal with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western Front. With his officer, he charges toward the enemy, witnessing the horror of the battles in France. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and he is able to find warmth and hope. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?

Ted Washburne , November 12, 2014 (view all comments by Ted Washburne)
This was not short book but I read it in just a couple days (I am a slow reader). To put it overly simply it is about a boy who loves a horse/or i should say it is about a horse that loves a boy and would do anything to get back to him. The horse is taken from the boy and the farm he lives on and placed into the hands of the war machine, where he is ridden into battle and has any number of officers killed on his back until he reaches the hands of a particularly caring man who insisted on the horses rehabilitation when injured and then tries to return him to the boy. It is frightening, unsettling, and heart warming, individually and all at once. so much so that it is hard to put down! I loved it and was actually sorry to have it end. I did put it down with a msile in my heart. This is not a children's book but it would be fine for the early teen ager to the very old who just want a good read! Thank you Michael Morpurgo.
