The threesome once more encounter a race for survival

An artical for a suspitious sale for year olds spark interest and a question is the Blacks sire still alive? The adventure begins with a plane trip for Henry the Black and Alec. Whacky people and danger stand between our heroes and the conclussion of their faxt finding endevour. The book is a delicious ride full of adventure and a villian. This book would be a perfect Disney movie.

The Black Stallion Mystery

When Henry and Alec check out some yearlings they are shocked to see a very strong resemblance to the Black. So they question if the Blacks Sire could still be a live, but they were told by Abu (Blacks Original owner) that his father had died years ago in Arabia. The temptation that the Blacks father is still a live is too much for them. So they decided to head abroad to the man who sold the Yearlings and see if it is true. The Storyline has interesting twists and turns and Alec meets people who he hasn't seen in years. The book is quite fast paced and is probably one of the best Black Stallion books.

The Black Stallion--a book not to miss for the world!

The Black Stallion is my favorite book! It's a story about a boy named Alec who is on a ship with a Wild Stallion. Their ship sinks and most everybody dies. Alec lats the Black free from it's cage on the ship so it can fight for life. Alec gets knocked overbourd when the ship is sinking. When he see's something gliding through the water next to him. Blindly he grabbes at it. It's the Black's halter! The Black Stallion is a thrilling and exciting book. One of the great Walter Farley books worth buying! Katy Ann.

A classic? Why is this series going out of print?

The Black Stallion is a wonderful story about a teenage boy's relationship with a wild Arabian stallion who rescues him from drowning after a shipwreck. The two are isolated on an island for many weeks and learn to respect and care for each other. Alec tames the Black with love, and rides him all over the island. The book progresses through their rescue and trip home, where Alec boards the Black with his neighbor Henry, a retired race horse trainer. Alec soon discovers that racing the Black professionally is not as easy a galloping wildly across the island, but he's determined to try, and with Henry's help, brings the Black to a stunning victory against the fastest horses in the country!It's a shame that Random House has let all but 4 books in this series go out of print. Also, a succession of cover illustration changes was not a good idea either. The original paperback illustrations by artist Ruth Sanderson were INCREDIBLE! I can remember reading the books when I was about 8, and drinking in the lavish, dangerous looking images of the Black and the other horses. The re-done illustrations are clumsy, and do not portray Walter Farley's legendary horses as he intended them, i.e. wild and dangerous! Perhaps someone at Random House will get a clue, and re-issue the entire series with the original covers! Please!

WoW :]

I can't believe how exceptional and fabulous this book is!Written by the BEST horse author of the century, this book totally Rocks.Though some of his books after THe Black Stallion Returns lacked a certian flare, this one grips you and brings you into the book.The Mystery in this book is so strong, and wild dat you can't put it down! I encourage alot of peeps to read this book :]

Could the Black's sire be alive?

Alec and the Black has a mystery on their hands. Could Ziyadah, the golden stallion, who sired Shetan be alive? It would prove to the mystery of the year as Alec, Henry and the Black venture to Spain where the three colts' 'sire' lives.
