Summary: Where The Red Fern Grows
Review: Where The Red Fern Grows
If you like adventure, you will love Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, author of Summer of The Monkeys.
Billy Coleman, a wannabe hunter who is in love with coon hounds, figures out that you don't always get what you want in life. Billy explores everyday and roams the countryside until sundown, searching for adventure. After finding an abandoned magazine left behind by some fishermen, he finds an advertisement about coon hounds and Billy HAS to have them. The only problem is Billy's parents can't afford them although they really want Billy to have them. After two years of saving money by selling different furs and things, Billy starts his journey to retrieve his hounds.
I really enjoyed this book and thought it was really remarkable. I think anybody could read this book no matter what age, and like it as much as I did.

Summary: Where the Red Fern
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is a very good example of the love shared between a boy and his dogs. Billy (the main character) and his two coonhounds, Old Dan and Little Ann show a fierce love for each other. Billy works hard to buy them and when he finally gets them he loves them very much and is willing to do anything for their protection. The dogs show the same type of affection to him and in the end, they die for it. In Where the Red Fern Grows, Billy and his dogs will and do go to any means to protect each other.... Billy loves his dogs and his dogs love him back. They will not let any thing happen to each other while they're still alive. Old Dan and Little Ann seem like normal dogs, showing loyalty, but they aren't like most dogs at all. They show the ultimate love almost to the point of human understanding. Many, if not all, people could learn something from the concept of putting others first, not just in small things like manners, but also in much more important things, such as a willingness to sacrifice your life for the lives of others. This world would be amazing if people put others first. If two dogs and a ten-year-old boy can do it, so can we! This book was interesting, touching, and exiting. I recommend it to anyone who likes and for anyone who doesn't like books, this one will be an exception.

Summary: Powerful & moving, but easy to read
Review: Billy lives in the Ozarks and wants 2 hunting dogs. He saves for 2 years, then sends away to get 2 puppies. Once the puppies arrive - Old Dan and Little Ann - Billy begins to live his dream, never realizing that more is happening than he is aware of.This is a wonderful story of the love a boy has for his dogs & the freedoms of childhood. However, Billy has some experiences that take him from childhood into being an adult. Some he is aware of but others are more subtle. Despite the story being about a boy, girls can relate to a lot of the emotions as well. Adults can more fully appreciate the more subtle storylines. I highly recommend this book but suggest that you keep plenty of tissues handy.

Review: Where The Red Fern Grows
Wilson Rawls
Curtis Publishing,
1961, 249 pp., $6.50 This book Where the Red Fern Grows is about a man in his early fifty's who has a flashback to his childhood after seeing a couple of dogs fight in the park. The memory starts out when Billy is eleven years old. Billy always wanted to have a pair of coonhounds, but his parents couldn't afford to buy the coonhounds. Billy's parents agreed to buy Billy a dog, but not the type of dog that Billy wanted. Instead, Billy got a loan from his grandfather to buy a couple of coonhounds. He saw an advertisement in an old fisherman's magazine. Billy worked hard to pay for the coonhounds and each time he made money he gave it to his grandfather. When Billy finally got the dogs, he trained them to hunt coons so he could get coons skins to sell.
When I was reading this book Where the Red Fern Grows I didn't want to put it down. The more I read the more interesting the book gets and I hate to put it down.
I like this book because Billy really wanted something and he didn't just wait for somebody to give it to him. Billy worked hard and got what he wanted. I can relate to Billy because if I wanted a dog as badly as he did, I would have done the same exact thing Billy did. Just like Billy, I wanted something so badly so I got a loan from my father and paid him back the money by working hard, doing different types of jobs such as painting, cleaning, and working as a mechanic at a bicycle shop.
If you were Billy would you have done what Billy did?
I highly recommend this book to anyone who anyone over the age of ten years old. This book is perfect for anybody who likes adventures or just likes to learn from other people's mistakes. If you like realistic fiction, Where the Red Fern Grows is a must. ~...

Summary: 2 Hounds + a Boy = A Touching Ending
Review: This is a memorable book you'll never forget. At first, the book seems boring...a country boy...and some coons. But as you get more into the story it gets interesting. This book is about a boy named Billy who has always wanted 2 hounds, but his family is to poor to get one. But after 2 years of hard work, Billy earns $50 and his dream came true. And this is where the adventure begins. It will end with a memorable ending that will touch your heart and cry.
