The sequel to the phenomenon that is Michael Morpurgo's War Horse!Farm Boy is set fifty years after War Horse. It is the story of how a grandfather (the son of Albert, the hero of War Horse) and his granson face the grandfather's deepest shame--something he's kept secret his whole life. . . He never learned to read. As the two study together, the grandfather revisits the beloved characters from the first book, recounting the story of when Albert raced Joey and Zoey against a modern tractor to see who could plow a field the fastest. The book speaks to the bond between grandfather and grandson, and captures the spirit of rural life and the love of horses.
