War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
A Timeless Tale of Loyalty, Courage, and the Brutality of War

When Joey, a striking red bay horse, is sold to the British Army at the outbreak of World War I, he is torn from the boy who loves him. Sent to the Western Front, Joey experiences the harrowing reality of battle—charging into gunfire, serving on both sides of the war, and forging unbreakable bonds with soldiers and animals alike.

Through pain and perseverance, Joey holds onto the hope of reuniting with Albert, the farmer’s son he left behind. A deeply moving story of friendship and survival, War Horse is a modern classic that speaks to the heart.
