The Black Stallion and Satan

Our rating: ***

Abu Ishak has died, leaving Alec the Black. At the same time, Alec and Henry have entered Satan in a big race in which the top horses from around the world are going to compete. Then they discover that Abu Ishak had entered the Black in the same race. Taking the chance that they can overcome the Black’s viciousness towards other horses, Alec and Henry decided to take both the Black and Satan to the racetrack. But one of the entries is diagnosed with an incurable and highly contagious disease. All of the horses entered in the race are placed in quarantine. Then dangerous forest fires start ravaging the area…

This book is a pretty good read. It gets rather exciting near the end, though that’s not to say that the rest is boring. Also (can you believe it?) Walter Farley actually tells whether or not the Black is faster than Satan. This is the fourth book in the Black Stallion series.
