Summary: "Where the Red Fern Grows"
Review: "Where the Red Fern Grows"
By Wilson Rawls

Would you do anything to get a dog? Billy in "Where the Red Fern Grows," asks his parents if they will buy him one, but they refuse. He secretly catches "coons" (raccoons) and sells their hides until he has enough to buy two good hounds.
The two dogs and Billy have many adventures. The book makes you feel as if you are really there. When the clever dogs tree a "coon" you can literally hear the baying of the hounds and the whines of the trapped raccoon.
Billy would make a good role model for any boy. He's brave even when he is faced with the most extreme danger of the whole valley, a mountain lion! When he hunts he combines determination with smarts to catch his "coons." He stays happy even when times are hard. "Where the Red Fern Grows" has some tough words so I recommend it for readers ten and up. Four out of five stars.

Summary: Necessary reading for all children
Review: What a treasure. I read this book on a week-long absence from grade school while I was recuperating from some childhood illness. It was my first long book, and my first real introduction to death. I heartily cried at the close of this book and it taught me two lessons that I'll never forget: that life is temporary and you must fill it with as much joy, adventure and love as you can while you are here; and that no dream is out of reach if your desire is strong enough. Two lessons that any child would do well to learn as early as possible. Highly recommended for all kids aged 7 to 14.

Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows
By: Rawls, Wilson
Reviewed by: S. Chang
Period: 5

Where the Red Fern Grows is a story about a boy named Billy Coleman, Little Ann, and Old Dan. Billy worked and worked to get these two red hounds and loves them dearly. He trains his puppies to grow you as a good coon hunter. Little Ann and Old Dan grow up and become known as the best hounds, but can they withstand a mountain lion?

This book is a great book. I think the main reasons that make this book a book that you cant put down after you pick it up is because of they way the author wrote this book. And it taught me the differences about country life compared the city.

Wilson Rawls makes the reader feel like I am right beside the two dogs and Billy while hunting and all their adventures, especially when the book said, ¡°my eyes were wide, my throat dry, and my heart thumping. One judge stopped in front of Little Ann. My heart stopped, too. Reaching over, he patted her on the head.¡± This book showed me the difference between the country and the city. It showed me this when Billy went to the city and people were making fun of hi. The book¡¯s exact words when a lady made fun of Billy were, ¡°the little old lady was sitting down, rocking with laughter.

My favorite part of the book was when Billy, Little Ann, Old Dan, Billy¡¯s father and grandfather went to the coon hunting contest. I really like this part because it was very adventurous. They went through a storm, lost track of some people, and get people injured.

Review: Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls is a well written book. It is about a poor boy and his relationship with his two dogs. Billy and his two dogs go hunting and have some exciting adventures. Together they captured coons and had exciting fights. Can Billy and his two dogs win the gold cup for best hunting dogs? Where The Red Fern Grows is a suspenseful book. I am a twelve year old boy in middle school.

Summary: Great book
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is a fantastic book. I really enjoyed it. It is about a boy who sees an ad left by some fishermen about some young hunting hounds. He saves up enough for a couple 3 years and walks for two days to claim his new pups. He hunts every night and very dramatic events occur in Billy's life. I cried a lot and enjoyed this book the entire time. I think that this book is a good choice for anybody who enjoys a great heartwarming story. He is attacks and his dogs stand up for him and protect him. They have two loves, him and each other. Championships are won and much is lost in the world of ringtail coon hunting. Good Reading!
