War Horse

War Horse
By Michael Morpurgo
 
In the deadly chaos of the First World War, a farm horse named Joey is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France, beginning an extraordinary odyssey through the heart of battle. Caught in the crossfire and serving on both sides of the trenches, Joey witnesses the best and worst of humanity—from the terrifying bedlam of artillery to the beauty of unexpected friendships. Back home, young Albert cannot forget his beloved horse and embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home against all odds.
 
This stunning wartime classic is a powerful testament to the bond between man and animal during the darkest of times.
