Sequel to 'My Friend Flicka', this is the next gripping instalment of Mary O'Hara's classic trilogy about a boy and his horse, adapted many times for stage and screen. A superb read for boys.
Flicka's foal struggles into the world, the tainted blood of his grandsire the Albino showing in his white coat. With the blood of his father, Appalachian in him too, Thunderhead ought to be the fastest racehorse that ever lived, but only if he can be trained.
Thunderhead has all the wildness of the Albino and, twice facing him in breath-taking mountain fights, finally kills the vicious white horse. Ken is humiliated watching Thunderhead revolt against his rider in a race, but Flicka's other foal, her filly Touch-and-Go was in the race too, and wins it for Goose Bar Farm.
