The Black Stallion Mystery (Black Stallion Series, 13)

The Black Stallion Mystery (Black Stallion Series, 13) - Walter Farley A little too much goes on here for it to be a straightforwardly good Black Stallion book. Farley was not afraid of over-reaching, which is certainly fun but does cause some eye-rollingly bad scenes. Secret passages? We got 'em! Kidnapping? Yup. Unknown location? Sure. Ghostly horses in the middle of the night? Check. There's some misogynistic stuff in here that seems reflexive rather than thought-out. Not one of my favorites, for sure.
