The Black Stallion's Shadow
Grade 5-9?In the Farley tradition, the plot gallops off to a dramatic start?the Black and jockey Alec Ramsay win a race that leaves two challengers dead. The Black begins to spook at shadows on the ground, so Alec consults Wes, a movie horse trainer. At the movie ranch, he and his horse become involved in a mystery involving sabotage on the set. Plenty of action scenes and the glamour of the film industry will involve readers of this long-lasting series. Steven Farley, son of the prolific Walter, debuts with this title (the pair co-authored The Young Black Stallion [Random, 1989]). His simple writing style and fast-moving plot will satisfy those who've devoured previous adventures of the Black and his clan. (And yes, Alec does help his horse to conquer fear of shadows).?Charlene Strickland, formerly at Albuquerque Public Library, NMCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
