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,
(This review is for people who have read the book. Spoiler alert)2019 REVIEWI've read Flicka about 20 times since I was 12. This time, I've recommended it as my selection for Book Club, and, just like every time I've read it before, I wondered if it was really as good as I'd thought it was. Last night, after Chapter 30, it's official: My Friend Flicka is superb. As Rob made his way to the nursery and got his first look at the sickly Flicka, my voice caught and I couldn't read aloud anymore. John
Okay, I'll say it right here at the beginning of this review - for me: Best Horse Book Ever.In my quest as a young girl to read every single horse book I could find, I somehow bypassed this one.

Some things, like certain expressions and horse
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!
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. 😍
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;
