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.

Piece Appertaining To Books My Friend Flicka (Flicka #1)

Wow. What a boring book. Like any horse obsessed person, I try to see every horse-related movie and read nearly every horse related book. So, perhaps in this case, the mistake I made was that I watched the movie first and then read the book. In the movie: 16 yo girl is misunderstood by her father. She fails final exam. Father is angry at her and doesn't want her to do anything fun except rewrite her essay so that she'll pass. Girl finds wild mustang. Girl catches mustang. Father is angry;

This is a great story of life, and the love of a boy for a special horse. Sometimes what we all need is someone or something to love and care for to make the rest of our lives go smoother.

Ken is a kid who can't do anything right. He daydreams during the school year and isn't promoted. He is the object of his older brother's scorn. He makes a mess of everything he is asked to do on his father's ranch; his father is fed up with him. Just when you think Ken is doomed to a life of failure, his mother has an imaginative idea: give Ken what he wants most, a horse of his own, a horse to break and teach and love. And because he loves his wife and because he can't think of anything else,

I had read this book once before when I was quite a bit younger and didn't like it. I decided, however, that I'd put it back and try again when I was older. This time, reading it through, I actually did like it. I was rather surprised though, because I had heard it suggested as a children's book and I find it a bit more mature. I'd place it more in the young adults category, due to some language and subject matter.This book is well known for being a sweet story about a boy and his horse, Flicka.



If you've never been West around Colorado/Wyoming, O'Hara recreates it and captures it in her novels. I didn't realize just how well until I moved here and started recognizing the scenery.I've reread her books many times now and will likely reread them many more, hence the 5 stars. I've had to get rid of all my books a couple times in the past and have always felt like my shelves are incomplete till I've reacquired the Flicka set. O'Hara is a depression era writer and has a bit of "Steinbeck"

So, I needed a book set in Wyoming to finish my 50 states challenge. Hey, this was a kids' series and a family film, why not. Well, I am not cut out for life on the farm, that's why not. I always forget how brutal it can be. But, HEY! I read all 50 States this year!
