 Blurb

Set on a farm in Devon at the beginning of the 20th century, this book is both an evocative and nostalgic read. It is a story of the relationship between a grandfather and grandson and the very special secret they share involving a local farmer, a field, horses and a newfangled Fordson tractor.

My Review

 I rate this book 8 out of 10. 

( I would have liked it a bit longer, otherwise great)

This is a great read telling the story of Joeys life in the eyes of his Son.

It shows us what happened after the War and continued on where War Horse left off. Wonderfully written, but if you expect it to be a thrilling War story it is not for you. I have said 9+ although it is not a long book ,is not written in very fine text and has many pictures, it could be a little bit hard to understand as Joey's Son is telling Joeys son's Son the story and sometimes that can be a little bit confusing for the youngsters.

This would be a perfect book to read to a class of students, A sibling or child or just by yourself.

SO Enjoy yourself and have a lovely (but unfortunately short) Read.
