What an excellent idea for a book! Our main character is Joey, a farm horse, and he is going to war. It certainly turns things around to have a horse tell a war story. And who wouldn't love having a noble and loyal horse as our main character?

I don't think I will ever forget that wonderful scene when Joey walks right through No Man's Land and both sides hold up white handkerchiefs for a temporary halt to gunfire to help the horse.
