Query: Excellent book! Thrilling and eye catching!

This book was excellent! I reccommend it to anyone who likes horses- not just people 9-12 years of age. I read it when I was 8, and have read it several times a year since then, and I'm now 13. If you read this book, you are sure to read the next, and the one after that, etc.!!! The Black Stallion is a hero in his own way- he is a champion, and so is anyone who reads the book!
