Comment: The Black Stallion Returns
By Walter Farley
Adventure
Characters:
Alec is Black's owner. He loves horses. He is 14 years old. He has black hair and goes to high school. He loves Black a lot.
Black is a black stallion who Alec befriends after a shipwreck.
Henry is the short, stout, bowlegged trainer of Black. He also owns the stables Black lives in.
Mr. Volence is the owner of Sun Raider, a horse Black beat in racing. He thinks Black can improve the American racehorse.
Abu Ja' ben Ishak is Black's real owner. His hair is steel gray. His skin is tough, dry, and the color of mahogany.
Raj is about 12 years old. He guides Alec's group through the desert. He has never known his family.
Tabari is Abu's daughter. She is about 15 years old. She is very beautiful. She loves her father a lot.
The Setting:
The book takes place in Henry's stables and Alec's house in the suburbs of New York, and in Arabia.
The Plot:
Someone tries to kill Black. The next day, a man shows up and claims to be Black's real owner. They find out he is telling the truth and he takes Black to Arabia. Henry, Alec and Mr. Volence follow him to Arabia where they learn about a conflict between Abu's tribe and a neighboring tribe. The conflict is that supposedly Abu killed his best friend, who happened to be the leader of the neighboring tribe. The son of the dead leader is very vengeful. Someone re-steals Black. Abu's and the neighboring tribe are about to go to war because Abu's tribe thinks the other tribe stole Black. Alec and Raj find out the truth and save Black. The man who kidnapped Black gets away, but his men did not. Alec and Raj help make the Tribes friends again and Raj finds his family. They hold a big race like every year. During the race the man who kidnapped Black tries to shot Black. Instead, the others tribe leader shot the man. At the end of the race the other tribe's leader who was riding for his tribe and Alec, who was riding for Abu's tribe, were racing their horses neck and neck. Black and Alec win by a small space. At the end, Tabari marries the chief of the other tribe. The tribes make peace and Abu promises Alec he will get Black's first son.
My favorite scene is when Alec meets Tabari because she is very nice and talks to Alec. I also like it when Alec meets Abu's tribe because it is all new for Alec and he behaves very nicely even though he is impatient to see Black. My two favorite characters are Raj and Tabari. I like Raj because he shows independence and he is very nice and wishes he knew his family. He wants to help Alec and be friends with him. I like Tabari because she is nice, beautiful, shows lots of independence and makes her own decisions. I recommend this book to horse or animal lovers. I also recommend it for mystery lovers. I think people should read this because it is full of adventure, mystery, horses, and Alec's thoughts. It is a wonderful book. It makes you feel like you are in the book. I think all my friends should read this. It truly is an excellent book. I would rate this book a 10 because it shows a boy's love for a horse and how he struggles to get his horse back when it is taken from him. I think Walter Farley did a wonderful job writing it. I would also give this book a ten because it keeps you wondering what happens next. Walter Farley keeps you hanging on his every word.

Summary: The Black Stallion Returns by Walter Farley
Comment: Alec Ramsay's horse, the Black, who beat America's fastest horses, has just been claimed by his, supposedly, real owner, who lives in Arabia. This book is about how Alec will do anything to get back the Black, even if it means to go half-way around the world! Alec eventually finds himself in search of the Black's owner in the deserts of Arabia, and anything can happen in Arabia from desert raids to horse races.
This is an animal fiction book by Walter Farley. Two reasons I liked this book was because it had a page-turning story line and a wonderful ending. There were some parts of the book that lost my interest, but overall it was a fantastic book! I would give this book a rating of four out of five. The age group that the book would be best for is 10-15 years old. I really recommend you to read this book!
Rating: 5
Summary: Gripping, terrifying narrative
Comment: One day, Alec hears the Black whinny in fear and anger. He runs to the stables and is horrified to find a hypodermic in the straw of Black's stall. It is deadly. The only clue is a strange medallion with a bird on it. But then something even more frightening happens the next day. Alec goes to the stable to find out that an Arabic man has come all the way overseas to see-and claim--the Black. He really is the Black's owner, so off the
Black goes. Thinking there is a connection between the hypo and the claimer of the Black, Alec, Henry, and trainer Mr. Volence travel to Arabia. They battle starvation and the hot sun with the help of a young Arab boy named Raj to find the Black. But when they get to the Arab cheiftan's home, they end up riding among warring tribes...warring tribes who are threatening to plunder and kill...and the leader turns out to be the man who tried to kill the Black! Then Alec is captured by the Black's evil nemisis--and may be killed himself!
