The listing, American Girl Books Nicki has ended.
Book 1: Nicki Fleming is a natural with animals. When the chance to train a service dog comes up, she just can’t say “No,” even if it means taking on more responsibility and having to give up some of the things she loves doing.
When Sprocket the puppy turns out to be a handful, it takes all of Nicki’s compassion to continue his training. She knows that one day Sprocket will make someone else’s life better—and that makes all the difference. The “True Story” section at the back of the book focuses on real girls who train service dogs.
Book 2: 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?
