"A twelve-year-old who has never spoken a full sentence. A stolen Arabian stallion. And a bond that would carry them both through the worst years in history."
World War II is raging. Hitler is hiding away the world's most beautiful purebred horses in a little village in Czechoslovakia. Lipizzaners, Thoroughbreds, and the prize Polish Arabians are being used in his experiments to create the perfect war horse.
A peculiar twelve-year-old boy from the village named Teodor becomes the groom for one of those special horses - Witez II, one of the most famous Arabian stallions of all time. Witez helps the boy face his challenges and find his voice at a time when little is known about the condition now called "Autism."
Inspired by a true story, The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy will touch your heart as no other horse story has before.
