The Black Stallion is the fastest horse in America and he and his jockey, Alec Ramsay, are training for a big race. Suddenly there comes a new challenger: Flame!

But what neither Steve nor Alec know, is that these two stallions have met before, and they hate each other.

I own almost all of the Black Stallion books. This is my personal favorite because of the exciting race between the Black and Flame.

4.0 out of 5 stars In My Opinion the Best Black Stallion Book, November 9, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Black Stallion Challenged (Paperback)

Firstly, before reading this I recommend you first get familiar with "The Black Stallion" by reading a few of his books. Also reading "The Island Stallion" would greatly help. This book is about the closely matched competition between The Black Stallion (The Black) and The Island Stallion (Flame). It starts out as a letter to Alec Ramsey asking for help from Steve Duncun, but it turns out to be so much more. As the competition builds between the horses it also starts to build between the owners as well. This book will bring an exciting combination of shock and suspence.
