Description

This sequel to Mary O'Hara's classic novel <i>My Friend Flicka</i> tells the tale of Flicka's headstrong colt Thunderhead, (also known as the Goblin), a throwback to his legendary wild grandsire, the Albino.

Description

*Thunderhead continues the story begun in My Friend Flicka, following young Ken McLaughlin on his family's Wyoming ranch. The novel centers on Thunderhead, Flicka's wild and powerful white colt, whose fierce spirit makes him both a challenge and a fascination for ken. As Thunderhead grows, Ken struggles to understand him, train him, and ultimately decide whether the colt's destiny lies with the ranch or in the wild. The book blends ranch life, family conflict, and the emotional coming-of-age of a boy learning responsibility, patience, and empathy. It explores themes of freedom versus control, the bond between humans and animals, and the difficult choices involved in loving something untamable.*
