The Black Stallion Returns (The Black Stallion, #2)

I received the movie board book instead of the original novel.

What a great story! I almost couldn't catch my breath during the racing narrative! Farley spins a wonderful tale of betrayal and true friendship here.

And you will fall in love with horses like I did.

I love The Black Stallion books; all of them! They are great stories about a boy and his love for his horse. Alec shows such determination to unite with his horse, which I think that everyone should have. It's very suspenceful (is that how you spell it?) and I couldn't put it down!
