The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Set on the Goose Bar Ranch in Wyoming—with its dramatic landscapes, its wild beauty, and its overwhelming spaciousness—this is the simple and moving story of Ken McLaughlin and his filly, Flicka.
Ken, a daydreamer and a chronic time-waster, is an enigma to his brusque, practical father. And although his mother is filled with sympathy for the boy, she is powerless to bring father and son closer together. Ken's fierce devotion to Flicka will at one point nearly cost him his life. But it is this same devotion that eventually causes the boy to assume the responsibilities of growing up, and he finally wins his father's acceptance.
