Hey everyone! it's me I just read The Black Stallion and it is the first book in the series. It starts with Alec on a boat and is headed home he had spent the summer with his uncle and he was riding horses with him so the boat that Alec was in stopped and as they were loading up the cargo they had a wild horse and it was a big black and the stallion was putting up a big fight as he was being lead up the ramp to the boat and the one person who was the owner {in the second book he was not the real owner} and the captain of the boat was worried because the boat was not a boat for animals but the owner convinced him to bring the stallion along and they put they stallion in a room and the stallion was angry so as they were sailing one night there was a big storm and Alec put on his life jacket and went out on deck to go on a safety boat because the ship was sinking and as he was waiting the owner of the stallion fell overboard and since he could not find his life jacket he died and Alec went to the room where the stallion was and opened the door so that the stallion could be free and when the stallion jumped overboard Alec went overboard and the stallion still had the harness that had been on him since when they brought him up on the ship and Alec grabbed the rope connected to the harness and the stallion brought him to a island and Alec was safe but there was no way that he could communicate to tell his parents that he was fine and he stayed on the island for a few days and then a ship came to the island because they thought that someone was on it and they were right and Alec wouldn't go unless the Stallion which he called Black could go with him because while they were on the island the Black had realized that he needed Alec in order to live so he was nice to Alec but didn't like anyone else but the captain didn't want to leave Alec there so he agreed so the captain of the boat brought Alec back to where Alec was headed when they ship sunk so when he arrived home he has to figure out a way to be able to keep the Black so his parents agreed if he could find a place for the Black to stay he asked a neighbor if he could use his barn and the neighbor said yes he could and so he was able to keep his horse there and Henry who was the neighbor who when he was young rode a horse helped out with the Black and Alec got a chance to race the Black and he won.
