A review by zenithharpink
The Black Stallion Mystery by Walter Farley

4.0

4.5 stars. This was a refreshing change of pace - a Black Stallion story NOT centered on a horse race. The story and mystery were both interesting, even if I found the conclusion and wrap-up a little lackluster. The tie-in to Flame and his "adventure" was truly infuriating, as I thought the Island Stallion was no longer part of the narrative.

There were also "like a woman..." comments that were upsetting, but not entirely expected for the times.

I recommend this book to fans of the series, horse lit, and children looking for a fun read.
