Written by Walter Farley, the same author of the Black Stallion, The Island Stallion tells the story of a hidden band of wild horses living on Azul Island and Flame, the bright red Stallion's exploits in his hidden world.
I always thought this book was much better than the author's flagship story, the Black Stallion and it should have gotten more attention. The Island Stallion is a little bit, "Journey to the Center of the Earth", part "Goonies", crossed with a suspenseful horse novel. For what it is, this is a very exciting read, especially for the intended age group of 9-12 years old.
I would strongly recommend purchasing this book. You can get it for $6.50 at Amazon.
