The Black Stallion
A shipwrecked boy and an untamed Arabian survive a desert island together, then have to survive coming home.
Alec Ramsay is shipwrecked on a desert island with a wild Arabian stallion, and the two of them keep each other alive until they are rescued. Back in New York, the horse nobody can handle becomes a racehorse nobody can beat. Farley wrote it at twenty-six, drawing on a childhood spent around his uncle’s horses, and it launched a series that ran to more than twenty books and made him the writer several generations of children first loved.

An American children's classic, this book, with its tales of survival, loyalty, and childhood courage, has somehow worked its way under my skin and stayed with me my whole life.
