Overview

Ten-year-old Nicki Fleming has been having a busy summer on her Colorado ranch. When she isn't training Sprocket to be a service dog, she's helping her mother, who is expecting twins soon. Yet Nicki is dreading the fall--that's when Sprocket will have to leave for more training and eventual placement with a person with special needs. The beginning of the school year also means she's stuck in the middle--caught between her two best friends, Kris and Becca, who can't seem to get along. Can Nicki find a way to let Sprocket go and keep both of her good friends close?

Editorial Reviews

Nicki has had a summer worthy of the American Girl Today series. When she wasn't helping her pregnant mom around the house, she was spending time with Sprocket, the affectionate service dog she was training for a few months. And somehow during that busy vacation, she found time to befriend Kris, a new girl at school. But now, with fall fast approaching, Nicki begins to ponder the upcoming year. She worries that when her best buddy Becca returns from vacation, she and Kris won't gel, and she knows how sad she will be when Sprocket, that young girl's best friend, has to leave. An absorbing read.
