Like Morpurgo's Private Peaceful (2004), this withering World War we novel reveals a accursed massacre of soldiers on all sides fighting opposite people who are only like them. The story is told by an English plantation horse, Joey, and, as in Cynthia Kadahota's Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam (2007), a first-person account blends a animal's earthy knowledge with what group say. On a farm, Joey has tighten ties to Albert, who is too immature to join adult when his father initial sells Joey to a army. Charging into conflict underneath machine-gun fire, Joey is restrained by a Germans, who sight him to transport ambulances and guns. His reunion with Albert in conflict is nauseating and contrived, though a outlook brings tighten a ire of a blast guns, a confusion, and a affability of enemies who come together in No Man's Land to save a bleeding horse. Joey's ability to know a denunciation wherever he is--England, France, Germany--reinforces a novel's antiwar message, and a succinct sum pronounce eloquently about peace. Hazel Rochman
