Growing up on a ranch in Wyoming isn't always easy for young Ken McLaughlin. All he dreams about is a colt of his very own to love and train. He finds it difficult to focus on anything else. And, when at last he gets Flicka, and he is so happy. But, as in real life, that happiness is not without difficulty and tragedy.
There is something wonderful about revisiting a book from childhood. As I was rereading this one, I couldn't help thinking about what I learning from this book as an adult. So much I missed the first time because I wasn't old enough or hadn't had enough life experience yet to appreciate it. This book isn't a classic for no reason. I loved it even more reading it now.
