War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

   You are in the middle of World War 1 and all of your friends in the war have died. Then you realize you are in the middle of no mans land and your leg is barely useful. And during all of this you are a horse. This action packed historical fiction is seen through the eyes of a horse named Joey from a small farm in the middle of the country. Joeys owner, Albert, is a nice, kind boy and his father sold Joey to the army to have enough money to keep the farm going. Now Joey must survive the war to get to his loving Albert. He must survive many obstacles during the war such as cannons, disease, injuries, and over working.
   This book is an amazing book with action on every page keeping you on the edge of your seat. I love the description Michael Morpurgo uses in this book. Sometimes it felt like I was right in the book. This book is filled with more than just action it also has some sad parts like during the war. This is by far one of Michael Morpurgos best books yet. At times I never wanted to put the book down. If I had to grade this book I could honestly give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend War Horse to anyone who loves history or animal stories.
