Short story woven around the true story of England 's Brostal system for young criminals and the use of Suffolk Punch horses in the British Army. A grandfather tells his life story to his grandson: growing up after WWII he was constantly in trouble, expelled from school into a life of crime, finally sent to prison where the chance to work with horses changed his life. Great illustrations, by Michael Foreman, lift a simple tale. One of the great partnerships in children's literature, this is the twenty-thrid collaboration between Morpurgo and Foreman. Lovely book of a lad's growing up and overcoming his bad reputation. A good man for a mentor and working with horses awaken his better self. A book of hope and second chances. Very encouraging. Wonderful illustration and a great section at the back to explain the facts behind the story. I would have loved this as a child. I really liked finding out about things in the books that I read that I didn't understand. This has these answers at the back of the book. The only thing I would have added would be a list of books to continue my exploration. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

From what I remember, the title is a line from a character in the book who considers the main character as a good egg despite the latter's reputation of being a "bad boy".
The ending part is what we usually consider as a redeeming moment for the protagonist.
May reread this when I feel nostalgic about fake memories of the past...
