Our rating:

Steve and his friend Phil Pitcher (known as Pitch) go to Azul Island and discover a way to get into the interior of the island, which is surrounded by steep yellow walls. Inside, there is a pack of horses, led by a beautiful red stallion, Flame. Tom, Pitch’s step-brother, made a bet with them that if they actually stayed on Azul Island two weeks, as they planned to, he would give Steve his pick of the horses there. Will Steve be able to own Flame?

This book has underground tunnels, three stallion fights, discoveries… in other words, adventure. I found The Island Stallion to be confusing at points, but it’s still a pretty good book. The next book about Flame and Steve is The Island Stallion’s Fury.
