War Horse

War Horse by Michael Morgurgo


Joey is a war horse, but he wasn't always. Once, he was  farm horse and a gentle boy named Albert was his master. Then World War I came storming through and everything changed. Albert's father sells Joey to the army where the beautiful, red-bay horse is trained to charge the enemy, drag heavy artillery, and carry wounded soldiers not much older than Albert off the battlefields. Amongst the clambering of guns and slogging through the cold mud, Joey wonders if the war will ever end. And if it does, will he ever find Albert again?


Here's another book that you should try and read soon, because in December it is going to be released in movie format - directed by none other than Stephen Spielberg, apparently he was inspired after seeing the London Theatre production of the novel.


Here's a  look at both the theatre production and not a movie trailer but the small bit that has been release about the movie.
