The book that changed my life would definitely be Walter Farley’s Black Stallion Collection.  

I’m no Matilda!   Yet I have read quite a few books in my years of reading and the one I think that has really inspired me, (besides my Bible, of course!) has got be Walter Farley’s Black Stallion.   My first discovery of his collection is quite poetic if you think about it. I was playing with my pen (because I was so bored in the terrible library) and dropped it. Of course I now had to pick it up and as I bent down I accidentally knocked over a whole shelf. While I was picking up the books the Black Stallion collection fell into my lap…

I found Walter Farley inspiring because his description was so realistic that you could actually smell the salty sweat drip off the powerful muscles of the Black Stallion as he ran through the thundering sea.   It was then that I realized how much interesting information you could learn from reading.

So my RANDOM TIP FOR LIFE this week is to be careful where you drop your pens because it might just change your life.
