Title: War Horse

Author: Michael Morpurgo

Publisher: Scholastic

First Published: 1982

This is a story about a boy called Albert and his horse Joey. Joey ends up going to the war. Albert is determined that they will re-unite. Joey serves on both sides of the war. Halfway through the way when he meets a ten year old girl called Emilie. Eventually Albert finds Joey and rides Joey home. They live happily ever after.

The one part in the story I liked was when Joey was re-united with Albert, because when Albert rides Joey back to the farm and Joey sleeps alongside old Zoey back in the stable.

 The part in the book I thought could have been improved was when Captain Nicholls got shot off Joey. Michael Morpurgo could at least have written anther paragraph.

Overall I thought this story was very good and interested me throughout the whole story and gave me a good picture throughout. I recommend this story to 10 years old and above because younger children might not know some of the formal Language.
