My Friend Flicka Audiobook

" My Grandmother gave me a hard bound two volume set, which included the sequel, Thunderhead. I was pre-teen or young teen, and loved the story. I fantasized about living on a ranch and having my own horse. We lived in a rodeo town in eastern Oregon, so it wasn't such a far fetched dream. "

" It's been years...but I remember this being a very touching story. "

" My Friend Flicka is a very touching book about a boy named Ken (around 10-11-ish) who lives on a horse ranch with his parents and brother, Howard. His father expects him to be perfect, a helping hand ready whenever he needs him, like his brother Howard. But Ken fails at almost everything - he loses saddles, lets horses free by accident, and finally he gets a report card so bad he has to repeat a grade. He begs his father for a colt of his own, and he finally gets his wish - the chestnut filly known as Flicka. Ken and Flicka are as close as boy and horse can possibly be. But when disaster strikes, can they still stay together? "

" This is a great book to read. When I read it I was fascinated. reading this book was great practice for my reading was low. Now I read all the time and this is a great book for many ages. I have friends that are 11 14 even 19 that loved the book. It is short but very good. I loved this book. "

" This was one of my favorite books. "

" This book is super good. It's about a boy named Ken who has alwaysed dreamed of getting a colt. But his dad Rob won't give him one. Ken is failing in school because he is always day-dreaming. One day Nell (his mom) makes Rob give him a colt. He chooses a wild horse with Rocket's (a "Loco" horse) blood. His father gets mad but gets her anyway. He names it Flicka. Then they both get really sick. I don't feel like writing any more so if you want to find out just read the book. "

" I like this tale of a girl and a horse she loves. Yes, it is melodramatic but it works because Ms. O'Hara writes with warnth and respect for the reader.. "

" this is a great book. i love books about animals. it has a buch of good description. "

" Going through all these books, I suddenly realize - all we ever read in fourth grade were Newberry winners. "

" One of my 6th grade students was reading Flicka the other day! I tried to contain my excitement. Somehow, I doubt that I did it effectively. I was so thrilled to see someone reading this book! One of my all-time favorites. "

" Love this book as a kid. Loved it even more as an adult. Great book for the horse lovers out there to read. "

" A true classic for horse lovers which our family has enjoyed immensly reading together. "

" mass market paperback but much earlier than this edition..... much better cover than any of those shown.... wonderful book for a horse-loving little girl. "

" Does anybody read the classics anymore? This one is so good, everybody ought to read it. It's well written, good story and believable characters. She also wrote Thunderhead and Green Grass of Wyoming. Please try 'em, you won't regret it. "

" Don't forget these old classic children/teen books, and their influence on developing the LOVE of reading. Many happy memories of this book, which, again, I read at least ten times. "

" A coming of age book. How a young boy becomes a man by raising his horse, Flicka. Sort of western-ish. If you like ranch life, you will like this. "

" Still the horse-loving teenage girls It-Book. "

" As a horse lover, this book is a must read! "

" A completly amasing story of a young boy, his father, and a high-spirited horse. "

" I never returned this book to my grandparents' neighbor, who loaned it to me the summer my grandpa died. I read it many times to repeat that sense of comfort it always gave to me. Of course, there is the niggling guilt about never having returned it... "

" I was the strange girl who was never much into "horse stories". "

" One of the best of all possible children's books!! "

" I looooved this book growing up. Despite my complete lack of coordination, this book continually made me wish I had a horse. I still wish I had horse. "

" If you are a horse lover...you should own it. I have read it more than once...classic story. "

" It was good, but I didn't finish it and had to return it to the library... haven't got around to checking it back out. "

" Mary O'Hara's My Friend Flicka series is what got me hooked on reading. "

" I liked the detail, and how it would give the perspective of every character on the situation. But it wasn't dramatic enough, and just kept droning on and on and on...didn't give you time to catch your breath and eventually you drifted away from what was happening. But the storyline was good. "

" This is an amazing book about a horse! i absolutely loved it. "

" This book was awful and boring. it made little sense and you could tell it was a woman tring to tell a story from a young mans point of view! I wish i could give it a zero star rating!! "

" I got teary reading this book! It was so sad, and so meaningful! I simply had to reread it over and over again! "

" I kept wondering if Flicka was going to die, I almost cried. "

" I read this a while ago, but remember liking it. "

" i did abandon this book because it was a little hard to understand.... i do recomended to people that are good at figuring things out htough because it is really hard to get in the book "

" Moi aussi je voulais ma Flicka! "

" This was a slow book at the beginning, but turned out to be a really great story!!! "

" This is a great book to read. When I read it I was fascinated. reading this book was great practice for my reading was low. Now I read all the time and this is a great book for many ages. I have friends that are 11 14 even 19 that loved the book. It is short but very good. I loved this book. "

" This is an excellent book, not a bit outdated. It's kind of a coming- <br/>of-age book for the boy, Ken. I'm not sure I liked the father, Rob. <br/>He's do domineering and set in his ways (old military), and then does <br/>an about-fact when things go right. "

" i loved it but i love horses. if u read it, get thunderhead, the sequel "

" Love this book as a kid. Loved it even more as an adult. Great book for the horse lovers out there to read. "

" Loved it! The narration was so beautiful. Both the scenery and the glimpse into the lives of the characters... someday I will be a rancher's wife:) "

" Its a pretty good book <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>Spoiler..................................................... <br/>............................................................ <br/>..............Flicka dies at the end of the book. "

" A coming of age book. How a young boy becomes a man by raising his horse, Flicka. Sort of western-ish. If you like ranch life, you will like this. "

" This was a book from the horse-crazy time in my childhood. I loved it then and I love it now. "
