The Wild One (Phantom Stallion, #1)

Oh gosh, I would have ADORED this book as a youngster. Even as a mostly-adult, it was still pretty entertaining. I have to admit, I have a preference for English riding over Western and wild mustangs and the whole shebang, but really, anything horse-related will catch my interest by default.
My only real complaint--that may or may not be a compliment--was that I felt like I was being dropped in the middle of a series, not picking up the first one. The world and the characters had all this developed backstory with a great setting. I almost wanted to read the backstory, because I couldn't quite sort out the relationship dynamics between everyone in the present. Still, honestly, I felt like I was plopped into a fully-realized world and actually had to work to keep up. It's so nice to read a children's book that doesn't talk down to its readers.
If the sequels ever fall into my hands, I think I'll probably read them. :)
