Rating: Summary: Where The Red Fern Grows Review: Where The Red Fern Grows By Wilson Rawls The book Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls is an amazing book that will real you in. It is about a young boy named Billy Coleman who lives in the sparsely settled mountains of Ozarks with his mother father and sisters. It is perfect coon country, and because of this all he wants in the entire world is to get two coonhounds. He asks his parents, but because they don’t have much money, they tell him that they can’t afford them. But he is determined. He had found an ad for coon pups and started a secret found saving every cent that he makes for two, years keeping it in a can in his barn. After he gets enough money he goes to his grandfather store and orders his dogs. When the dogs finally arrive he sets off on foot to a town 20 miles away. On his journey home he finds names for his two dogs carved into a weathered tree, Old Dan and Little Anne. He spends the rest of his time training and hunting with his to redbone hounds having many adventures along the way hunting coons all around the mountains. His dogs prove to be the best around in a tournament where they receive a first prize. Billy has everything that he could have wanted until one tragic night when his dreams came crashing down. Through all of Billy’s hunting adventures that he has with his dogs he really starts to discover who he is and wants to be. He strives to show that he is a man to his parents and his grandfather. He wants to be tough, before he is really ready. Because of his adventures he grows up faster then normal spending long nights alone in the dark forest, and even being witness to a horrible accidental death of another local boy. He has no choice but to act like a man. He grows up very fast. I thought that this book was very exciding and entertaining. It is one of those books that when you start reading it you just can’t stop. I highly recommend it to any one who has not read it no matter what the age. It is an easy book to read and it is very powerful.

Rating: 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 :(
Rating: 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.

Rating: 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!

Rating: 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.
