She lives on a working Colorado ranch with her parents and younger brother. She is optimistic, generous, and compassionate, and she loves skiing almost as much as she loves animals. Nicki has a hard time saying "no" to people. Whenever anyone asks for her help, she's ready to lend a hand. When Nicki says "yes" to becoming the main trainer of a service dog that she and her mother had planned to train together, Nicki ends up in over her head, and struggles to juggle multiple responsibilities: to her parents, her best friend, her teacher--and to the dog. But in the process of training the lively and spirited Sprocket, Nicki's affection for him grows--even while she keeps reminding herself that she has to give him up to someone who needs him more than she does. Equally important, Nicki learns some important lessons for herself. Book One ends with the with big test--and success!--of Sprocket's potential as a service dog, and Nicki's deep pride in their joint accomplishment.

I enjoyed reading about Nicki and Sprocket and the training Nicki does for Sprocket. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by C***L on January 5, 2014* Our Granddaughter's Godfather recently moved to Colorado and this is where the book takes place and she had asked for and received the American Girl brand service dog for Christmas also--she loves animals and not so much the dolls. She is an avid reader and couldn't have been more excited about reading this book! Would give a five but haven't read the book myself. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/106584641-nicki-american-girl-today](https://www.desertcart.be/products/106584641-nicki-american-girl-today) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
