Farm Boy Summary

Farm Boy by Michael Morpurgo

The extraordinary sequel to War Horse from the master storyteller

The extraordinary sequel to War Horse

'If there are such things as contemporary classics, then this, surely, is one of them' Daily Mail

Joey was the last working horse on the farm, and the apple of Grandpa's eye. When Joey was sent away to be a warhorse in the First World War, Grandpa joined the cavalry in order to find Joey and fight with him.

Farm Boy brings us forward fifty years, as Grandpa tells his grandson all about Joey, and reveals a secret which he has kept to himself all these years . . .
