My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara

4.0

Wonderful story about a boy who daydreams and a filly no one thinks can be gentled because her mother is so completely "loco." There's a lot going on in this story, but it all comes around to a horse and boy who save each other and become best friends in the process. Read with a box of tissues, however, because there are parts that will have most people bawling even though they know a children's story will end on a high note. Boy, what a high note! I told my son, when he seemed crestfallen when it was over, that it was a good way to end a book - on a high note of hope and reward for the struggle they both persisted through.
