Summary: Matt's review
Review: One of my feelings about this book is friendship. Billy cares so much for his dogs. Another in loyalty. When Billy said he would do something for his dogs he would do it. Like for example he said he would cut down the tree and he did. Billy and his dogs were brave and protected each other. Like when the mountain lion was there his dogs fought to save Billy's life and Billy fought to save his dogs life. Emotional is another felling through this book. Billy would tell his dogs everything. He told them when they would go hunting and so personal stuff. There was some personal stuff that went with the book. Billy would try to do stuff just by himself and his dogs would try to come. Like when Billy tried to go down to the store to give his grandpa some coonskins Old Dan and Little Ann would try to come. They couldn't come though because Old Dan would get into to many fights. I think this was a good book to read and it was a very good book to do stuff on. Even the quizzes were fun and when do you hear me say that.

Summary: where the red fern grows
Review: I liked this book because it showed how Billy and his dogs relationship grew throughout the story. Their love and respect grew to the point where they were willing to risk their lives for each other. Billy's parents also helped him through the tough times. They supported him and tried to help him forget horrible things that happened. This book shows that if you are determined, like Billy,you can actually make what you really want come true, just like how Billy got his hounds.I think after Billy saw the sacred red fern by his little dogs graves, he realized that his parents were right about what they said about God. I think that the sacred red fern was planted on Old Dan and Little Ann's graves because he was trying to apoligize to Billy for making him suffer so much. He therefore, was making Old Dan and Little Ann's graves a sacred spot forever. They were safe forever. Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann's relationship was also very equal. When Little Ann was almost dead in the freezing river, Billy found a way to save her while have the risk of dieing himself. Also when Billy was almost being killed by the mountain lion, they jumped in between them and risked their little lives for his. And when Billy saved Old Dan from all those fights with coons and cats, he saved him for those coons could have ripped Old Dan apart.These were definitely three of the closest friend I've ever seen or read about, even if it is between a human and animals, they still understand each other and respect other.I loved this book. It taught many lessons along with adventures, hunts, competition, friendship, courage, love, victories, and losses. It was one of the best books I've ever read!

Review: Title- Where the Red Fern Grows
Author- Wilson Rawls
Genre- Popular
Where the Red Fern Grows is about a boy named Billy who grows up in the Ozark Mountains during the depression. His family is poor and has little money. Billy wants two good hunting dogs but his family does not have the money to buy any hunting dogs. Billy decides to work and earn the money and buy his own dogs. Billy wants to keep the idea a secret from his parents. He works selling fruit and bait to fisherman. He eventually saves up enough money to buy the dogs. Billy's grandfather helps him order a pair of pups that they find in a magazine ad. Billy buys the pups and names them Old Dan and Little Ann. He works hard to train them to become good coon-hunting dogs. Billy's grandfather enters Billy into a coon-hunting contest which he gets a gold medal after many struggles. Through all of the struggles and adventures that Billy has with Old Dan and Little Ann he learns very important lessons about life.
Billy was motivated by his love for hunting to go work hard to earn the money to buy the coon-hunting dogs. Old Dan and Little Ann motivate Billy to work with the dogs to train them to be great hunting dogs. I would recommend this book to a person who was more into dogs and hunting, although it could be recommended to anyone who was also into adventured.

Summary: To Read or Not to Read (spoiler)
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is an excellently written book. I enjoyed the details very much. Some wonderful things happen to Billy, but in the story a boy and Billy's two dogs die. When the dogs die is especially sad. They are in almost the whole story, and you really feel for them. Also, the author describes their deaths a little too well. That may sound crazy, but what I mean is that he describes their deaths so well that it is very sad to read. It is an excellent book, but if you hate death, and love dogs, don't attempt to read it. You will run out of tissues.

Summary: 10 years has passed and I still love it.
Review: I first read this book when I was 9. I loved it then, and I still love it now. It's a touching story of a boy who craves for coon hounds, works endless to get them (you feel so happy you want to cry when he finally gets them), and even wins a hunting competition with them. The end crushes your heart, but the story of the red fern makes the wnole book touching from beginning to end like no other.

Summary: 13 Year Old Reader
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows, by Woodrow Wilson Rawls is an emotional and adventurous book for all ages. This captivating classic is one that readers will not want to put down. In the beginning of this story Billy, a ten-year old boy of the Ozarks in Oklahoma, has a desire, a desperate need for two redbone coonhounds. He asks Papa, but he tells Billy that they don't have the money to purchase the dogs he wants. He then goes to Mama, but he gets the same answer from her. Billy just about loses hope when he comes across an ad in a sports magazine that reads: "Registered redbone coon hound pup-twenty-five dollars each." He is renewed with hope and decides to save every penny he can earn to get the coon hounds he has always wanted.After two years of saving by doing just about any job he could think of, Billy saves fifty dollars, enough to buy two redbones. He asks his grandpa, who owns a store to order them for him. Billy names the dogs "Little Ann" and "Old Dan." He trains his dogs for coon hunting. When coon-hunting season comes around, his dogs are ready. Billy accumulates a lot of raccoons and receives money for the furs. Billy gave all of the money he got from the furs to Papa. One day, when Billy goes to Grandpa's store, the Pritchard boys are there, Rainie and Ruben, and they bet him that his could not tree a certain coon. When he shows up, his dogs pick up on the scent, but then the coon goes up a tree and seems to disappear. When Billy gives up, he hands over his bet money, and then, just a little later he finds the coon. Rubin refuses to give Billy his money back, so Rubin starts to fight with Billy. What I liked best about this story is that throughout the rest of the story, the relationship between Billy and his dogs is built on love and loyalty to one another.
