Summary: A timeless story of unequivocal love
Review: Wilson Rawl's "Where the Red Fern Grows" is a very well written story with a single theme: the deep love between a boy and his dogs. Being from the same area and living during the same time frame, I found it to be quite emotional and entirely believable. Having some parallel to my boyhood, I felt a close kinship with 'Billy' and his family. What more could an author ask? A smooth, unassuming midwestern writing style reminiscent of "Dirt Floor".I would highly rate and recommend this book to anyone of any age. It is a timeless story of unequivocal love and devotion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Q's Views
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is a loving, emotional and adventures book. When you start to read it you will be hooked on it. The unique thing about this is that you really feel like you are there. It's different from other books because it's true, its something all people do.
The author, Wilson Rawls, also wrote Summer of the Monkeys, and that to bacame a hit. Before that he married Sophie Styczinski, a budget analyst for the Atomic Energy Commission. She really supportive and helped Wilson.
The book can be sad sometimes and you will probaly cry, but that doesn't keep you from reading because you are so into it. You will really love it when the little boy stays up all night just because he made a promise to his dog that he would get any animal that he treed. That was really great.
Though Wilson could of made it where there was a series so that you could find out what comes next, but that was the only thing that could of been done better. My overall impression with the book was very good.
I would definitely suggest this book to the age group of 10 year olds and up. You are not to old to read this book. So I would check this out and mabey read any other Wilson Rawls book's.

It's a sad story but very interesting story but very interesting and it will make u want to read more and more. The author of this book is Wilson Rawls did an excellent job of thinking of this story. This is one of my favorite books of all times. Whoever reads this story will fall in love with the character.
Billy is just a young teenage boy living with his family he has 2 sisters his mom and dad. He has a grandma and grandpa that owns a store a few miles from were they live. He roams the Ozarks in northeastern Oklahoma were he lives a very happy life. His family lives on a big farm where they get some of there food, because they don't have a lot of money.
One day he went down to the river to see what the fishermen have left behind. He found a magazine and sat on an old sycamore log and looked threw it. So he was reading along when he found a add for two dogs for fifty dollars. But he didn't have the money and he was sure his parents didn't either. So he figured he would do a lot of work to get some money so he saved up every cent he had. He put his money in a little tin can which he hid in the river.
So like after one year he finally earned up fifty dollars. So now he had to go pick up the dogs but he didn't want to tell his parent because he was afraid they wouldn't let him. So he told his grandpa and his grandpa ordered the dogs and did what he could so he got ready and set off on the way. He figured it would be faster to travel threw the mountains then to travel on the road. So when he got there he went up and knocked on the place and the guy came out with a box and cut the box open. Two puppies came out and he didn't have any way to carry them so they guy cut some holes in a burlap sack and put them in it and then Billy gave him the money. But the guy gave him some money back and said now they are only 25 dollars.
So Billy started out back towards home when some kids started picking a fight with him and were beating him up when the sheriff cam and stopped it. Billy and the sheriff started talking and the sheriff bought Billy a soda, he has never had a soda before. So when he was done he started off home again and he spends a night in a cave because it's getting to dark and the morning he gets going again. When he gets home his parents were very worried about him because they didn't know. He shows them the dogs and gave them the present he had gotten them. The next morning he starts training them to hunt. So when they are ready he takes them out. so soon he starts getting a lot of coons and starts selling the hides for money.
So in conclusion I think this is one of the best story's I have ever read. TO find out more check out the book it gets better and better the further you are. So check out the book to find out more about what happened in this story. So don't miss out on what else happens in the book it will keep you on the edge of your seat and will not want to stop reading the book until you are done with it.

Summary: It will leave a lasting impression ...
Review: My teacher first read this book to us in the 4th grade, I was 9 years old. Like most typical children, I did NOT like to read, but ever since she read this book to the class and me, I cannot stop reading. I'm now 15 and I've read well over a hundred books and it all started with "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls. I have re-read this book 4 times and it shows such a wide range of emotions. Every person should have a chance to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: book
Review: I thought the book was very good. The reason is it has very good description. When it said Little Ann glistened in the sunlight at the beauty competition. It was also funny. When Grandpa looked at his hair brush and it had little red hairs in it. It was also full of action, like when Billy fought the freckle faced kid in Talequa.Also when Old Dan and Little Ann would chase coons. If you like dogs this is a book for you. The only part you would not like is the end. Both dogs die. Old Dan dies on his way home from fighting a mountain lion with Little Ann. How he died is he got a gash in his stomach. Little Ann died because her love for dan made her depressed, there for she could'nt handle the loss. So in conclusion, this boy, Billy worked hard for what he wanted and got it. Then his dogs and him became champions.

Rating: 3 stars
