Summary: My favorite book
Review: My favorite book would have to be ,without a doubt , Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. I just love this book. The reasons why I love this book is that it gives me different emotions. It makes me laugh ;it makes me cry. The book makes me laugh when the little boy plays with his dogs. The book makes me cry when the boy was so close to his dogs ,and at the very end something terrible happens. Another reason why I love this book so much is because I can relate to it. The boy is 12 years old ,and I'm 12 years old. The boy has two dogs, and I have two dogs. One other reason why I love this book is that Wilson Rawls expresses his feelings and uses a lot of entertaining words in this story. So, I don't know about you, but if anybody ever asked me what my favorite book is, I would pick this one.

Review: Hi, I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite books. The book is called Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. It's a fabulous book, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about it. It's about a boy named Billy. Billy wants to buy two hunting dogs so he can hunt by himself. He has to recycle cans to be able to afford to get the dogs. When he gets all the money that he needs, he has to walk to the guy's house to pay for the dogs, and then he gets to bring the dogs home. He bought a girl dog and a boy dog. He named them Little Anne and Old Dan. Billy grew very attached to the dogs. One day when Billy and the dogs went hunting, Old Dan got into a really bad situation. The dogs were looking for a raccoon and they ran into a Mountain Lion. The Mountain Lion attacked Old Dan. When Billy got Old Dan home, his mama put a wrapping around his sides so the wounds would heal up. Billy's mother knew the dog wouldn't live. Unfortunately Old Dan didn't make it, and Billy felt as if he lost his best friend. They could tell Little Anne knew her brother wasn't there anymore because Little Anne wouldn't eat or sleep. They finally got her eat, but Little Anne passed away one afternoon. Billy was torn up inside because now he lost two of his best friends and his favorite hunting dogs ever. When I was in 5th grade my teacher read to us Where The Red Fern Grows. She said every time she reads it she always cries. I think that everyone should read this book, and I promise you you'll end up crying.

Summary: The (Great) story of two dogs and a boy
Review: Hello everyone! Where the Red Fern Grows is a great, no awesome book. I read Where the Red Fern Grows in 7th grade and it is still with me today. (Not that I am much older (10th grade) but it is the only book I can think of that I still enjoy to read over and over again.) It is about a young boy and his relationship and hard work to get two coon hounds. When I read this book I feel like the book is giving me a big hug. I get so lost into this novel even though I have read it many times. It encourage anyone to read this book. I warms your heart and soul.

Summary: Boaring
Review: I didn't enjoy this book very much. I found it to be very boaring . Other readers may like this book but it didn't grab intrest. This book is mostly an adventure book. So if you like adventure you'll enjoy this book.

Summary: Where The Red Fern Grows
Review: This book is sooooo good! It is about a boy who wants to have dogs so badly that he leaves his own home just so he could get two. But before he does he needs to save his money. He sees an arcticle in the paper telling about hound puppies. Male and femailes. He wants one but his parents say he can't have them. He goes out while they are sleeping to get them. He sleeps in caves and on the ground and walks bare-footed across the country. On his way he gets bullied around and beat up. When he finally gets there he forgot about what he would carry the puppies in. Then he sees someone with a gunny-sack and gets it off of them for free. He puts the puppies in there and brings them all the way home. They are still little puppies when he decides to bring hunting. He teaches them what to do. Then a faitful accident comes that will leave you breathless.

This is the best book. You will fall in love with it from the start just like I did.

Summary: Okay Book
Review: I never would have read it if I wasn't in 6th grade. In my distict, all 6th graders are required to read it. At first, I didn't want to read it because it looked and seemed like all of the Boy-gets-dogs-then-dogs-die stories. Those just get me discusted and make me be discouraged on all BGDTDD stories. When i read this I was hooked. I just HAD to stay up to 11:00 p.m. to finish it. True, I was dissapointed that the story ended so short, taht when one dog died the other dog just gave up and died. The story also had a lot of racoon hunts, which I don't really like because I am an animal lover. Tose hunts didn't hold my attention for long at all. Here are some pros and cons of this story.

Pros:
First seven chapters hold you, and then your too hooked to stop reading.
You can relate with the age and having to be patient.
It teaches you about things you would have never thought about before you read that book.

Cons:
The book starts getting boring in the racoon hunts and starts losing your intrest.
It takes a long time to get the story started, and then its not really worth the wait.
A lot of unimportant details are added in this book.

To all those who cry about dead things, I would not recamend this book. Some one else dies a "tragic" death besides the dogs. *ahem* 'bully'. If you are going to read this book after reading this and all of the other reviews, I'm not going to tell you any more because I don't like reviews that give away all of the books' secrets and exciting parts.

Summary: Family Favorite
Review: I remember reading this book as a grade school student and then seeing the movie with my class. I loved it then and love it now as a parent and teacher. This story is written at a level easy enough for children grades four and up to read and enjoy. It is also written in such a way as to thoroughly please adults. I recently listened to this book on audio cassette and was impressed by the poetic tone and rich vocabulary this book includes. This is a great read aloud for parents to read to their children (even if they can read well on their own!!). Surely, the story will remain a favorite in your family or class.

Summary: Wow GREAT book
Review: When I first started reading this book I didn't think that it would be as good as it actually was. Believe me though I was way off this book was GREAT. This is an intruiguing tale about a young boy that wants something and works very hard to obtain it. Thats what the whole book is basically about, hard work. Then after you do all the hard work you get the rewards from it. Although it is a very joyful book for the most part the ending is very sad and it got to me. Usually I don't get all choked up over a book but this book did it to me. So if this book can get me choked up obviously it has to be a very sad yet a very excellent book.
