Rating: Summary: Where The Red Fern Grows Review: I liked this book because it deals with hunting and I am a hunter myself. It was exciting when Billy, his dad and his grandpa went on a championship coon hunt. It was hunters at the championship that had a better chance of winning than Billy did. The whole book was suspenseful because you never knew what Billy was going to happen and they were always getting into trouble. I liked when Billy went to town to get his puppies that he always dreamed about. His dream was about to come true when he got to the big town. When Billy was walking back home with his puppies, he caried them in a sack and their little heads and feet kept on poking out of the sack.The most exciting part of this book was when Billy and his dogs went over to the Pritchard's and hunted the famous ghost coon. It was Billy and his dogs got on the trail of the ghost coon and they trailed him for hours. The ghost coon finally ran into a tree that was the place that he always semmed to disappeared from the dogs. Billy's dogs didn't give up and they kept circling under the tree. The ghost coon climed out onto a branch and then walked a fence and went into a hollow tree. Little Ann found the coon and let out a bawl but Billy didn't want to kill the ghost coon. He wanted the other hunters to have a chance at the coon. the Pritchard boys had a dog and it came to where Billy and the boys were hunting. Thier dogs weren't supposed to be there because they don't hunt well with other dogs. The Pritchard's dog got in a fight with Billy's dogs. One of the Pritchard boys grabbed an ax and was going to kill Billy's dogs when Billy was trying to catch up with him. The Pritchard boy was running and he fell and the ax went into his stomach. It killed him. One of the most vivid parts of the story was when billy found the magazine that had the article about dogs. He read it and he saved up enough money to buy the dogs. Another vivid part of the story was when Billy was at the spot where he first found the news article about the puppies. He hadn't named his puppies yet. On the tree Billy found the names of Dan and Ann carved with a heart around them. billy decided to name his dogs Little Ann and Old Dan by adding little and od to the names he found carved in the tree.

Rating: Summary: book of the century Review: My favorite book in the world is Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls .The book is my favorite because of the very descriptive words Mr. Rawls uses in his novel. Throughout the novel the author inserts so many adventurous stories. An example of this would have to be when the boy and his dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann, are coming home . They encounter a huge mountain lion ,and the boy has to use an axe to stop the mountain lion from killing his dogs. The book also shows the importance of friendship and patience. An example of friendship in the book is of the boy and his two dogs. They have to work together when they go coon hunting in the forest. An example of patience is when the boy has to train the dogs to coon hunt. I think everyone should read one chapter of Where the Red Fern Grows because I think more than likely, they will read more.

It's a fabulous book, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about it. It's about a boy named Billy. Billy wants to buy two hunting dogs so he can hunt by himself. He has to recycle cans to be able to afford to get the dogs. When he gets all the money that he needs, he has to walk to the guy's house to pay for the dogs, and then he gets to bring the dogs home.

The dogs were looking for a raccoon and they ran into a Mountain Lion. The Mountain Lion attacked Old Dan. When Billy got Old Dan home, his mama put a wrapping around his sides so the wounds would heal up. Billy's mother knew the dog wouldn't live. Unfortunately Old Dan didn't make it, and Billy felt as if he lost his best friend. They could tell Little Anne knew her brother wasn't there anymore because Little Anne wouldn't eat or sleep. They finally got her eat, but Little Anne passed away one afternoon. Billy was torn up inside because now he lost two of his best friends and his favorite hunting dogs ever.

Rating: Summary: Where The Red Fern Grows Review: This book is sooooo good! It is about a boy who wants to have dogs so badly that he leaves his own home just so he could get two. But before he does he needs to save his money. He sees an arcticle in the paper telling about hound puppies. Male and femailes. He wants one but his parents say he can't have them. He goes out while they are sleeping to get them. He sleeps in caves and on the ground and walks bare-footed across the country. On his way he gets bullied around and beat up. When he finally gets there he forgot about what he would carry the puppies in. Then he sees someone with a gunny-sack and gets it off of them for free. He puts the puppies in there and brings them all the way home. They are still little puppies when he decides to bring hunting. He teaches them what to do. Then a faitful accident comes that will leave you breathless. This is the best book. You will fall in love with it from the start just like I did.
