Great story of life's lessons for any boy

I am reading this story to my 7 y.o. son. Each night we read 2 chapters and he is totally enthralled. The story works through many typical boy situations: bullies, not being the best at sports, etc. I think it is an important story for any young boy, but it is also an exciting adventure written so that each chapter ends with something to entice you to read more.

A SUPERB horse story!

I acquired this in my pre-teen years and still own it; great story about a boy and his horse. The writing is beautiful, the illustrations even more so. The details of life on the Maine coast, horse care, boat-handling, etc are vivid and delightful. I couldn't recommend it more!

A good story.

This book was pretty well written. It is the story of a young boy who is sold a lame horse for practically nothing, only to find that the lameness is superficial and that the horse is a wonderful animal. He learns to ride, and has a few adventures, eventually boosting his health and self-confidence. He also learns about judging people according to rumors, and he learns to stand up for himself when the horse's previous owner demands the sound animal back again. This is a nice enough story, although slightly unrealistic. I'd reccomend it.
