Sergeant Reckless: The True Story of the Little Horse Who Became a Hero Hardcover - 2017

by Patricia McCormick; Iacopo Bruno (Illustrator)

The inspiring true story of Reckless, the brave little mare that became a U.S. Marine during the Korean War. This is the first picture book from award-winning novelist McCormick ("Cut"), sumptuously illustrated by acclaimed artist Bruno. Full color.


From the rear cover

When a group of U.S. Marines fighting in the Korean War found a bedraggled little mare, they wondered if she could be trained as a packhorse. They had no idea that the skinny, underfed horse had one of the biggest and bravest hearts they'd ever know. And one of the biggest appetites!

Soon she showed herself more than willing to carry ammunition too heavy for the soldiers to haul. As cannons thundered and shells flew through the air, she marched into battle--again and again--becoming the only animal to ever officially hold military rank and receive two Purple Hearts.

From an award-winning team--author Patricia McCormick and illustrator Iacopo Bruno--comes the inspiring true story of the brave horse who became a marine.
