Then several weeks later he gets rescued by these people who think they see people on the island. They were right so they took Alec on their boat and take him to another area where he gets on another boat and the black gets in a fight with another horse. So they have to break up a fight and then the bout gets to new york and he sees his parents. Then he goes home asks his neighbors if he could put the black in their stall in their barn. They say yes and the owner of the house Henry is a horse racing champion and they train the black and tell their newspaper writer friend Jim Neville. He talks about how fast the horse is and that he would win in a race against cyclone and sun raider and they let the black race them. So on the race track the match the race is about to start and the black and sun raider get in a fight and Alec gets off to check the wound. But the race starts and the black goes and they are so far behind no one thinks they could win but the black does it he beats cyclone and sun raider and gets an award.

This book is about a horse and a kid named Alec and the horse name is called the Black Stallion, and they were in a boat crash and ended up in a island. they weren't friends the first time they mean't. Then at the middle they trained because they were going to a match race for the horse, and he won. I recommended you should read this book because it's funny and cool, and my favorite part is when the Black come back from the fastest horses in the country named Cyclone and Sun Raider, and the Black came back and won.
Alec Ramsay is a survivor of a shipwreck that was him and a stallion that carries him to an unknown desert island. He spends 2 weeks at the island to be saved by a passing ship to take him to Rio to catch a ride to New york. When he gets there he takes the stallion to an old horse jockey who tells him to put up in a race against the two fastest horses in the U.S. Alec agrees and trains the Stallion. Alec and the jockey get the stallion in the race by Jim Neville. This book is very fun and has a lot of suspense. If you like a lot of suspense then this is the book for you. I would recommend to my friends because it has very loveable characters

They got stuck on the island on and on the island they became very close. The a ship saw them and rescued them. Then they got another ship and went to New York and Alec names the horse the back. In New York he trains the stallion with a guy named Henry and the black makes a new friend named Napoleon and then they find out that the black can be in a race with two of the fastest horses cyclone and sun raider. On the day of the race the black is far behind from cyclone and sun raider but he runs super fast that he catched up to them and won the race.

I really liked this book because it's a lot about friendship and trust. I would recommend you to read this book because it's really interesting and as soon as you start reading it you wont want stop! The black was really all Alec could think of when he was on the ship, then when Alec and the Black had earned each others trust they were inseparable, I was so happy when Alec's parents let him keep the Black, and when they won the big race together!!
I love this book so much that it is my #1 favorite book of all time. Alexander or Alec Ramsey goes on a boat called the Drake to get home in New york but little did Alec know the Drake sunk, on the Drake was a black horse that saves Alecs life by swimming to an Island. Alec get saved with The Horse ( the black) and brought home. Alec went back to New york and get the Black into a match race. I would recommened this to all my friends becuase this book has so many excited things.
