The Stallion

STALLION IN THE STORM is an excellent book. Anyone who loves mystery and animals will love this book. I recommend readers should be ages 8 and up. Fantastic! Great! That's what I say about this book. Ben M. Baglio the author, has made two series that I've read some of, ANIMAL ARK and ANIMAL ARK HAUNTINGS. This is one of his ANIMAL ARK HAUNTINGS. This book is a type of ghost story, crossed with a mystery story. The setting is mostly Folan's Stables. Folan's Stables is in the country and is a racing horse stables with a yard for racing in. The main characters are Mandy and James. Mandy is an animal lover and can't stand animals in danger. James is an animal lover too, and to show it, he has a black Labrador retriver named Blackie because he's black. He also helps Mandy rescue animals in danger. Dr. Adam Hope is Mandy's dad, also a doctor at Animal Ark, and the temporary horse vet at Folan's Stables. In this book Folan's is having trouble. The horses are unsettled and get all jumpy at races. "She didn't even have a chance to run." This is what Mandy said when a horse didn't want to run a race. Could it be because of the mystery incident that happened at the stables? Or are the stables haunted? And why is the owner ignoring the stables? Find out by reading the book.

Wonderful

Mandy and her best friend James are very excited when Mandy's father promises to take them with him to visit Folan's Racing Stables, but when they get there they realize something is very wrong. Many of the jockey's that ride at Folan's think that Tibor, a stallion who died in a race is haunting the stables. It's now up to Mandy and James to find the truth and save Folan's.This was a great first book to a wonderful series. I recommend this book to any fans of the Animal Ark or Animal Ark Pets book series.
