3.0
An emotional war story told through the perspective of a horse. A very good book for children in secondary school to tell the horrors of war in an age-appropriate manner. Some good visual discriptions, and an interesting concept for narrating a war story. But not enough time to grow attached to characters and sometimes it doesn't make a lot of sense as to where the characters are.
Graphic: Animal death, Death, Grief, and War
Minor: Alcoholism, Child death, and Alcohol
