Farm Boy
by Michael Morpurgo
A grandfather tells his grandson about the farm, the two great horses that came home from the war, and one secret he has never admitted.
A story about children, families and animals, gentle and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 8–11, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
