Ratings and reviews

Loved it as a teen. The Black was the answer to a lonely child. I will always LOVE him! BTW, I'm 71 & still ride Him in my dreams.

Excellent read for younger readers snd teens. Classic story, pulls you into the book with the characters and takes you on a journey far away from home!

My teacher asigned my classmates and I in reading groups and I pick this book. At first I thought it was garbage, but I wouldn't put the book down after the 5th chapter.
