Summary: Stone Fox
Review: The name of the book is Stone Fox. The author is John Gardnier. My favorite character is Little Willy. The story took place in Missouri. It had a twist at the end of the book that was unexpected. If I had to recommend this book I think you wouldn't like it, but if you like surprises it would be cool.

You'll have to read the book to find out what it was. I thought this book should be rated 50 million stars because it has a lot of adventure in it. It was exciting and it made me want to keep on reading. I recommend this book to people who like dogs and bobsledding.

Summary: Stone Fox shows a great friendship between a boy and his dog
Review: I've recently had the chance to pick up and read a great book called Stone Fox. Although it's really small, the book is written extremely well. HARPER TROPHY® published Stone Fox in 1980. What a wonderful book this is, the book was written by John Reynolds Gardiner and illustrated by (not cover) Marcia Sewall. The story in Stone Fox begins with a huge problem, what made me interested in reading it. Little Willy's grandpa is sick. What will Willy do? The old man won't get out of bed. After trying and trying, the boy,Willy, finds out why. The tax collector told Willy grandpa hasn't been paying the taxes for approximately 10 years. Grandpa is giving up on life. Little Willy asks all the people he knew what to do. Some of those people are Doc smith, Hank, Lester, and Mess Williams. They all decided it was best to sell the farm, but Little Willy and his dog Searchlight wouldn't give up. There has to be another way! A little later, miraculously, they found 'The Way'. He happened to be at Lester's General store and saw a poster. The poster said that there was to be a dogsled race at Jackson, Wyoming. Any number of dogs were allowed to enter the race. What a miraculous happening! The prize just happened to be $500! Little Willy and Searchlight took the chance. The two had been through a lot together. They would win even if they had to defeat their adversary, Stone Fox. Stone Fox was a tribe member of the Shoshone Indians. He wanted to win the money so he could buy back land for his tribe. It was said that he never lost a single race. When the day of the race came, Willy was in the lead. Stone Fox was dead last. Who would win? The tragic ending at the end of the race stunned everybody. Searchlight was dead. To everyone's amazement, Stone Fox let Willy carry Searchlight across the finish line. Although this book has many superior parts in this book, my favorite part is in Chapter 10. It was a thrilling part where Searchlight's heart burst. The part where Searchlight died was a miserable section of the book. What I liked about it was that the part was so shocking and unexpected. This section made me think, why did Stone Fox let victory slip away from him and let Willy win. It was out of the ordinary.
Though there were countless fine, and excellent parts, there was a really boring part. Chapter 8 so boring that you would fall asleep reading the chapter. It was monotonous. Basically nothing happened in it. It was all showing and telling as if everything was still, unmoving. The chapter told how many people, how toll they were, who was watching, and how the race started. It described very well, but as I mentioned before absolutely nothing happens. Anyone who likes amazingly interesting dog stories, would like this book. I would recommend it to them. Stone Fox would amuse them because It's a book always with something happening, except in Ch.8, and never-ending excitement. The dog is amazing and so is the boy, Willy. What will probably catch your attention are the character descriptions, for example the white star on Searchlight's forehead. Since I say it's so interesting, why don't you find out yourself!
