FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. This series, full of action, excitement, and suspense, has set the pace for horse stories for 60 years.
Flame, the magnificent wild horse who lives on deserted Azul Island, has captured Steve's heart and his imagination. This is the horse Steve has dreamed of owning; and this is the horse he had hoped to find when he embarked on his camping expedition to the island. Not just a horse story; and not just a coming of age story; this book tells of survival, intrigue, friendship, and responsibility. The original 1948 publication date may explain, in part, the story's slow start. But, slowly and surely, the reader does get engaged; and by the story's climax, it would be as difficult to drag the reader away from finishing the story as it is to drag the stallion away from his island home. 1998 (orig.

reviewed The Island Stallion (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) on February 03, 2012 The Island Stallion (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
This has been one of my favorite books, and though it's hard to call it, I might just like Flame better than I like the Black.
Well, after all, this has a whole lost island, a lost civilization as well. That's what makes me love this story - the combination of history and horses.
I love how Steve grows up in the course of this book, becoming a man capable of making the hard decisions. I'm not sure I'd have the strength to do the things he does. The bond he shares with Flame is something I've longed for my entire life and still feel when I re-read this book for probably the 20th time. While this series DOES go a bit crazy / science fiction down the road, it's never stopped me from loving this book. This story, the story of how Steve finds Flame is beautiful and brilliant all by itself.
