The book of the month is ‘War Horse’ by Michael Morpurgo.
Separated by war. Tested by battle. Bound by friendship.
During the dark years of World War I, a service horse, named Joey, is purchased by the Army and made to serve the war effort in the embattled nation of France. Amid the chaos of The Great War, his previous owner, 15-year-old Albert, rediscovers the bond they once shared and attempts to bring the horse safely home.
This beloved tale is a story of enduring friendship and courage, amid the universal suffering of The Great War, as told through a horse’s point-of-view.
