Customer Reviews

Azul Island is found and Steve and Pitch become hostage!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat. It was sometimes spooky and sometimes even scary. If you read the Island Stallion, you know of Tom, Pitch's brother. When one of the foals who was sired by Flame is born as a twin and his mother rejects him, Steve takes care of him. But the foal follows Steve through the marsh and injures his leg. Steve and Pitch have to take the foal into town to the vet. Tom sees them and follows them when they go back. Well, he finds Azul Island. Not just the canyon, but the valley inside! Now it's up to Flame to save Steve and Pitch who have been captured! Can he do it? Read it to find out!

My Favorite Book- The Island Stallion's Fury

A fantastic book by Walter Farley is The Island Stallion's Fury. This novel is wonderful. It's about a boy named Steve Duncan and his friend Pitch. They find a lost world behind the high cliffs of Azul Island in the Caribbean. Only they know of the awesome world everyone else thinks is uninhabited. If you like horses, you would love this book. Pitch and Steve discover wild, pureblooded horses on the island. When Steve befriends the band of horses the stallion, Flame, leads him to a beautiful blue valley hidden by the huge dome-shaped walls of Azul Island. This book also has suspense. When one of the baby horses breaks it's leg Steve and Pitch have to go to another island twenty miles southwest, called Antago, to see a vet. Pitch's brother who lives in Antago is mean, cruel, and ugly. He is supposed to be in South America at this time, but Pitch thinks he lied and is still at Antago. If his brother sees the colt he would know Steve and Pitch found something they didn't want to share. As you can see, this is a great book. All these examples and much more make The Island Stallion's Fury my favorite book.

Very Exciting Book! You have to read it.

This book was a thriller. It was a great addition to all of Walter Farleys books. I loved when Steve would ride Flame thinking about nothing except Flame and when the baby horse was born with its twin. It was also exciting, but scary when Tom would whip Flame with his bull whip. It was also scary when Tom fell off the cliff! This was a very exciting book!

A very cool book

The Island Stallion series is a great offshoot from The Black Stallion series. This book is another wonderful installment! From the tunnels of the entrance to the island to the back of the horses, Farley spins an exciting tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat and almost feverishly turning pages. Even better, it is an easy read and young people love it! Read it!

FANTASTIC BOOK!

I started reading this book and just loved it. You go through dark, winding, and lots of tunnels that are easy to get lost in. A beautiful stallion romes the land of this underground island that seems as though it's just a rock. It's a fantastic book to read.
