Recommended by: Calvin G.
This is a story about what it was like during World War I. It puts you in the horse's shoes and shows you how strong the bond can be between a person and an animal. The characters in this book are a horse named Joey, and young man named Albert. Albert's father in desperation sells Albert's horse, Joey, to the British military. Albert joins the British military and in the process is blinded by gas. Meanwhile, Joey gets stuck in "No Man's Land". Albert eventually finds him in a small town where he was being treated for his wounds. He finds him when he does a whistle with his hands because he thinks he found Joey. He has to prove the horse is his! Will he?
