I think that Steven Farley is doing a superb job carrying on his father's tradition. The book, about a hopeless situation caused by on accident on the racetrack, is a mystery also. A great one for young horse lovers.
Perhaps not as exciting as the others, but still quite good!

The Black and Alec face several different challenges in this book, the main one is the fact that Alec is away from home on a ranch. After his horse gets a fear of shadows, Alec realizes that he cannot race again until the Black overcomes this fear. He asks for the help of his trainer, Henry's friend. He meets many new people, some good, some not so good. A good story with a great plot.I do not totally agree with the other reviews, because I love the Black Stallion and no matter what book he's in, he will still be the Black Stallion. This book is different, because it deals more with "other" activities than racing, horse grooming, breeding, etc. I think that this book deserves it's spot on the charts not as a book like the others in the series, but as a book by itself. Do not expect the expected when you read this book, if you have read others in the series. Writers truly do have their own way of writing and that is something we must accept.
