With London steeled for World War II, eight-year-old Wolfie and his older sister Dodo are sent to the countryside. It's difficult being city kids among strangers, but an orphaned foal named Hero helps the children adjust. In a parallel story line, the children's father has been accused of desertion. Angus's story is a big, satisfying tale of friendship, family, and war.
