A timeless favorite of adults and children alike, My Friend Flicka resides in âthat borderland where some of the best-loved books in the English tongue hold their immortality.â (New York Herald Tribune)
A daydreamer and a time waster, young Ken McLaughlin spends his days on his family's Wyoming ranch with his head in the clouds, surrounded by endless blue skies, wide-open spaces, and beautiful horses. To his brusque, practical father, the boy is an enigma and a disappointment. Then one day, Ken's life is filled with new purpose when he finds Flicka, a magnificent filly as wild as she is fast.
Though the strong bond between boy and horse only fuels his father's disdain, Ken's growing love for his friend Flicka is changing himâleading a once-aimless young man down the path to responsible adulthood, forging a new respect and understanding between father and son, and inspiring a fierce loyalty that nearly costs Ken his life.
