"A beautiful book... It will pass into that borderland where some of the best-loved books in the English tongue hold their immortality, on the shelf with Treasure Island, and Dumas and Dickens and Muting on the Bounty." --- New York Herald Tribune
It seems Ken can't do anything right. He loses saddle blankets and breaks reins... but then comes the worst news yet: a report card so bad that he has to repeat a grade. How can you tame the dreamy mind of a boy who stares out of the window instead of taking an exam? Enter Flicka, the chestnut filly with a wild spirit. Over the course of one magical summer, both will learn the meaning of responsibility, courage, and, ultimately, friendship. |
