Write-Up About Books My Friend Flicka (Flicka #1)

I loved this book! The writing is wonderful, the characters are realistic and interesting, the story is well-told and I learned a lot about horses and ranching and life. It made me want a horse of my own. While reading this book, I chided myself for ever wasting time reading books that are poorly written. I was emotionally involved with the characters and, though I would gladly have enjoyed a longer book, it ended perfectly. A new favorite!

But Ken has already imagined his life with Flicka and refuses to make a

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.

Eventually, Nell McLaughlin, Kens mother, finally persuades Rob to allow Ken

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.

This will always be in my top five books of all time. I re-read it every couple years. I have a beautiful old fabric hard bound copy. 😍
