Can the Black win against Flame?
I was glued to the book the minute I picked it up. I was amazed at how well Walter Farley was able to place the story and help the readers understand what Alec feels when he is challened to race by Steve Duncan. You know what is going on all the time. I got the book for Christmas and I finished it before school started up again. Every aspect of it is good. If you just want to curl up with a good book, this is the one. I hope to be just as good a writer as Walter Farley. As far as horse books go, you can’t get any better than him! Stories for every young person Many times I read and re-read all of the Black Stallion/Island Stallion books when I was a child. They gave me more pleasure than anything else I read in those early years. In my opinion they are much better children’s literature than most of what is published today. I recommend them for young people without reservation. Every child, especially every child who likes horses, should have the whole series on his or her bookshelf.
