First read of 2018 in the bag! I really enjoyed this little throwback to my childhood...although I have to say, this prequel doesn't read like a kid's book, or even YA. It's pretty dark and weirdly spiritual. Even though (spoiler alert) we all know the Black is going to survive his trials, I still felt uneasy about the abuse he suffers along the way.

monalyisha Love throwbacks! Will you be joining @Clwojick & I for the #ThrowbackReadathon (Jan 25th - 28th)? 😁 6y

#FunFridayPhoto Favorite Book From When You Were Young: This was my first ever hardcover purchase! I saved my money and special ordered it from my small local Indy when I was in 6th grade. I was so excited, and Walter Farley did not disappoint. @Liberty

marie3blue I loved The Island Stallion Races best of all the ones that I read in this series. I watched The Black Stallion movie over and over as a kid. Also loved the Misty books. I was a horse loving kid. :) 8y
Ellsbeth @marie3blue That was a good one! I read Marguerite Henry, The Saddle Club, all the Farley books, and whatever horse books I could get my hands on. 🐎 8y
