This is a classic which will introduce the Second World War to KS2 students and beyond. The story of Jakub and Izzie and their rescue of the Lipizzaner horses adds a new dramatic dimension to the war. Readers will identify with the main characters and there is scope for class topic work on the deeper issues of Hitler and his effects on life in different countries. It will also appeal to all horse lovers!
