"The Runaway Racehorse" by Ron Roy is a book about a time when Josh, Dink and Ruth Rose take a train to visit Uncle Forest in New York. Uncle Forest is a horse trainer who trains horses for the derby. He and his prized horse, Whirlaway, are coveted by many trainers. Lately, Whirlaway has been acting strange. Sonny, Forest's jockey, said, "He rides like a different horse." Little did they know, he was. Read the book to find out the exciting conclusion. I would recommend this book to chilren 8-12 or anyone who likes a good mystery.

"The Runaway Racehorse" is a good book about three young children. Dink the leader of the group, Ruth Rose the intelligence, and Josh the comic relief. They all go to Dink's uncle's house to watch Dink's Uncle Warren's race horse, Whirlaway, race. However, disaster strikes when Whirlaway goes missing from the barn. The kids have to try to find the horse and the master mind behind the horse knapping. I would recommend this book to someone in elementary school, because it was an easy reader, and I do not think it would be too hard for them to comprehend.
