The Black Stallion Returns - by Walter Farley (Paperback)

About the Book

Alec and the Black are torn apart when an Arab sheik appears and claims the prize stallion as his own. But after a dramatic adventure in the Arabian highlands, boy and horse are reunited, never to be separated again.

Book Synopsis

"The most famous fictional horse of the century" (The New York Times) is back in this timeless classic about how much danger one boy will endure to rescue his beloved companion.

"Someone cruel and vicious wanted to put an end to the Black. Why? What motive could he possibly have? The answer lay somewhere in Arabia."

When a chieftain shows up to claim ownership of the Black Stallion, Alec Ramsay has no choice but to let the horse return to Arabia. But he's not ready to let the Black go so quickly. He travels halfway around the world, determined to buy back the stallion. What he finds is an adventure that few could imagine--and even fewer could survive!

It has been more than seventy-five years since the first Black Stallion adventure was published, and it is still literature's most enduring friendship between a boy and his horse.

Follow Alec and the Black on all of their adventures:
The Black Stallion
The Black Stallion Revolts
The Black Stallion's Ghost
...and many more!
