Ten-year-old Nicki Fleming is a natural with animals. She’s also compassionate, dependable... and very busy! But when Nicki is asked to train Sprocket the pup as a service dog, she must decide how many tasks she can juggle—and which are most important.
Your Nicki doll is 18 inches tall, with long caramel-colored hair, freckles, and blue eyes. Growing up on a Colorado ranch means hard work but also the rewards of riding her horse, Jackson, and spending time with Sprocket the pup. Nicki arrives wearing a western-inspired outfit: a cream eyelet bodysuit with pearlescent buttons, a faux-wrap skirt with floral embroidery, and faux-leather boots with lace trim. Includes paperback book, Nicki.

Nicki loves to go galloping across the mountain meadows on Jackson, her beautiful buckskin horse. His velour-covered coat is a light-chocolate-milk color, and his dark mane and tail can be stroked and styled. Position the two-tone blanket under his saddle, attach the bridle, and Nicki’s ready to ride! W: 5” x H: 16 1/2” x L: 23”
$65 GYAJ
Taking care of the horses is a daily chore for Nicki, but Jackson gets special treatment! Help Nicki open his tack box to find everything she’ll need to give him a good grooming: a berry-colored brush, ankle wraps to take care of injuries, and a bag of carrots so she can give him a treat when she’s done. At the end of the day, store the saddlebags and western-style saddle inside the tack box, too

Sprocket the pup is black and white with caramel spots all over. No one is sure of his breed—perhaps a mix of Australian shepherd, border collie, and Bernese mountain dog—but one thing is certain: all he has to do is tilt his head and look at Nicki with his big brown eyes, and she’s in love. As part of his training, Nicki makes sure he always wears his service-dog vest when they go out and about, and she brings along his training log to record progress. Of course, she never leaves home without his scoop sacks and box of pretend treats for a job well-done.

Nicki Fleming's story continues, with a second book about the Girl of
the Year 2007. Ten-year-old Nicki has had a busy summer on her Colorado
ranch. When she wasn’t training Sprocket to become a service dog,
she was helping her mother, who is expecting twins soon.
Yet Nicki is dreading the fall, when Sprocket will have to leave for
more training and will eventually be placed with a person who has 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?
The “True Story” section at the back of the book focuses
on real girls who have experience training service dogs. Author: Ann
Howard Creel. Paperback. 116 pages.
