My Friend Flicka (Flicka, #1) (The Dragon Books)

by Mary O'Hara

Don Silbey (Illustrator) and Sam Sloan (Introduction)

A classic tale of the American plains and one boy's belief in a horse from Mary O'Hara.


Ken was entranced to watch Flicka - the speed of her, the power, the wildness - she led the band. Ken loves riding on the ranch in Wyoming. All he wants is a colt of his very own. Horses are the family's livelihood, and Dad can't afford to waste a valuable animal on a dreamer like Ken. Will Ken ever get to own the horse of his dreams?


A much-loved classic and firm favourite with horse lovers for over sixty years, My Friend Flicka belongs alongside National Velvet and Black Beauty as one of the classic horse books.

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!
