Product Description: Someone's set a treacherous trap for Alec and his horse...

I read all of Walter Farley's books when I was a child, and my son is now reading them and loving them as much as I did. The Black Stallion Mystery starts a bit slower than the earlier books, but not so slowly that my almost 8-year-old got impatient with it. Farley's prose is vivid - cinematic, even - drawing in young readers with rich detailed descriptions of everything from exotic locations to the smells of sour grain. Farley's knowledge of horses and horsemanship remain unparalleled, as is the ... Read More

Devoted fans of Alec Ramsay and his famous Black horse will be delighted
by the mystery lurking--with increasing literary tension and menace--in this YA novel. Apparently parentless (or emancipated) by this novel in the series, Alec is free to choose his own path, usually in concert with his trainer/mentor, Henry.

A group of my students chose this book for a literature circle because the boys wanted a mystery and the girls wanted a "horse story." I talked them into this one, and it was a great hit with all!!! Taking the reader to exotic lands and throwing in the proverbial "red herring" kept my students absorbed the entire time. Great read!

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 ... Read More
