The beloved first book in the middle grade Phantom Stallion series about a girl, her horse, and the beauty of the American West returns with a brand-new, stunning cover and bonus material! Perfect for fans of Canterwood Crest and classic horse stories like Black Beauty and My Friend Flicka.
When thirteen-year-old Samantha returns home to her family's cattle ranch in Nevada, she's nervous. She moved away two years ago to recover from a bad fall off her beloved mustang, Blackie, and she's still not sure she can get back in the saddle. She's having trouble bonding with her new horse, Ace, the other ranchers treat her like the boss's spoiled daughter, and Blackie has been missing since the day of Sam's fateful accident.

But that's just the beginning. On a moonlit night, a mustang comes to Sam. Is it Blackie grown up and gone wild—or the legendary phantom stallion? When Sam suddenly finds the fate of the horse resting in her hands, she has to be a real cowgirl, ready or not.

      An updated version of a popular series opener from 2002. Two years have passed since Sam left her father and their Nevada ranch: Dad sent her away to be closer to good medical care after a fall from Blackie, her beloved mustang, left her with a concussion. Sam's time in San Francisco with Aunt Sue was filled with joy--movies and basketball--but Sam can't stop thinking of Blackie, who escaped after the accident, and life with Dad. Finally back home, Sam tries to settle into life as usual but can't seem to move past the trauma of the incident, especially when she encounters a magnificent horse known as the Phantom. Stunning and fast as lightning, this silvery gray stallion strongly reminds Sam of Blackie--most light horses start off with dark coats when they are young. But as Sam investigates, she runs into interference from the Bureau of Land Management, which manages the wild horse population by periodically rounding them up and adopting some of them out. Unfortunately, Sam cannot prove the Phantom's true identity and stake her claim to him. Features in this edition include a new map and the addition of excerpts from Sam's journal and dictionary. This engaging, well-paced story with a touch of mystery features a likable protagonist overcoming obstacles. Supporting characters are also well rounded. Most characters read White. An already beloved novel that will find a fresh audience among horse and adventure lovers. (Fiction. 8-12)
