Summary: Do not read this book!!
Review: This book disgusts me because if I were younger this book weould be a very sad book that would bring back bad memories and I'm sorry to the people who like this book but I found it disgusting in how graphic it is I mean no kid should read about a dog's insides falling out that is just grotesque for a little child to read and how a boys dreams are shattered in this book, we have enough tragic things in our life without having to hear of things like this so I would advise you not to read this if you were younger because it is just disturbing :( very gross :(

Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls, is a tale of a boy and his two loyal 'coon hound' dogs. It was written 40 years ago, but still interested me and kept me reading. The story begins with Billy, an 11 year old boy who lives in the Osark Mountains, longing for two coon hounds. He is turned down by his parents, who just don't have the money. In the woods one day, he finds a magazine selling two coon hounds for only 50 dollars. He saves his money up in a can for two years and has his grandfather place the order in his name. When he retrieves the two cute puppies, he names them Old Dan and Little Ann. Billy must train his two hounds well and go through many difficult endeavors with the hounds. This book can be great for almost all ages. With a Lexile of only 670, a second or third grader could understand it, but it has an exciting and touching plot that even adults can enjoy.

Summary: Dogs Rule Once Again
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is an awesome book becuase the suspence is so great and you never want to put it down. In this story a boy wants two hunting hounds so bad that he will try and earn enough money by himself. After the puppies arrive he takes full respondsibility and even goes hunting with the hounds when the hunting season begins and also how they survive some terrible incidents. But it always turns out alright except for a few times. As there adventure continues the suspence gets greater and greater. I again recomend this novel to anyone who likes to read great and suspenceful books!

Summary: It was an AWWWWSOME book!!!
Review: I read this book in the beginning of the forth grade and I have read it at least once every year since. I had just lost my dog two weeks before we started the book. I wouldn't say I wasn't coping with the loss very well because I wasn't coping with it at all. I am one of those people that was taught that it is okay to cry but I just don't. So I hadn't really let any of my feelings out about the loss of Grateful, that was my dogs name, Grateful Marley. I read the book and by the end I was a totally different person. It has helped me on so many different levels that I can honestly say this was the best book I have ever read. Maybe it is just because it also holds sentimental value but I think that this book can give you guidence in your life, even if you aren't looking for any.

Summary: a wonderful tale of a boy's best friends...
Review: "Where The Red Fern Grows" is a emotionally charged story about a boy and his two dogs in the rustic Ozark mountains. After much yearning and saving (and through much tears and sweat) a young boy achieves his lifelong dream of owning two coon hound dogs. He appropriately names them Old Dan and Little Ann. Through adventures (and misadventures) in these mountains Billy Colman experiences love, friendship and undying loyalty. And through them comes a keeply touching bond that teaches the boy about life and death. The earnest writing of Wilson Rawls takes you midst of these adventures and shares the love of a young boy's heart. I don't think I've ever been so deeply touched by a story about animals and their master. I don't think I can fully describe in words how touched I was through this book. All I can say is that this book is really really good.(Read it back in 5th grade and 15 years later, it's still good.) Truly, dogs are man's, I mean a boy's best friend... and they all must go to heaven.

Summary: A book everyone should read!
Review: This book by Wilson Rawls takes place in the Ozarks of Northeastern Oklahoma. A boy named Billy Colman and his two hounds win the gold cup in the annual coon-hunt, capture the ghost coon, and bravly fight a mountain lion in this book. When that battle ended in tragedy Billy learned the Native American legend of the sacred red fern. Now a red fern grows over the graves of his dogs. "Yes, I know it is still there, for in my heart I believe the legend of the sacred red fern." says Billy 30 years later (page 249). I love how Rawls made the story so life like. You can picture everything that happens in the story in your head. This story has so many life lessons and good morals. Everyone should read this book atleast once in their life. Not too many things these days teach people what this book does. The only thing that I wasn't too fond of was some of the southern talk Rawls put in it. If middle school students try to read this it could mess them up and make it hard for them to understand at some points. Other than that I thought this was an excellent pick, one of the best ones I have ever read.
