Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows a True Adventure
Review: Alan Eden Book Review "Where the Red Fern Grows" By reading this book I have established that it is my favorite. I am an avid coon hunter and I have a dog named Old Dan (after the book of coarse) My grandfather loves this book and he named his coon dog Dan. His dog is long sense gone but the name lives on in my dog. Billy, the main character in the book, is a young boy who lives in the Ozark mountains of Missiouri. I myself envy this young boy because he and I are kind of alike. I mean I have it alot better than he did, but I live for hunting and being in the wilderness to me there is nothing better. The story is about a simple family who live in the Ozark Mountains of Missiouri. Billy, his father, mother, and two sisters. Billy and his family don't even have enough money for clothes let alone two coon hounds. When Billy becomes almost ill because he wants the dogs so much, he devises a plan. By selling worms to fisherman and little things like that. After two long years of hard work Billy finally makes the money to purchase his hounds. And thats where the excitment begins.

Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows Review
Review: Where The Red Fern Grows, is a book by Wilson Rawls. This book is full of adventure and the love a boy has for his dogs. This book shows how a boy wants one thing in the world and that is two hunting dogs. The main character is Billy. His family lives in the hills and is surrounded by timber. All Billy wants to do is coon hunt, but it is kind of hard with no dogs. His family is not blessed with much money, so therefore can not afford them. For two years Billy decides to work hard and save enough money to buy them himself. To me this shows that if you put your mind to something and work hard at it you will achieve your goals. When Billy receives the dogs he works hard at training them. He spends lots of time with them, so he can make them the best hunting dogs around. He becomes so close to the dogs that he becomes able to know what they want. The dogs can also read him and understand what he is saying to them. This book is full of adventure. Billy and his two dogs go out on a lot of hunting trips. Many which become life and death situations. An example would be when they tree a mountain lion instead of a coon. The dogs did not care about the size of the animal because they did not want to let Billy down by letting it get away. The dogs protected Billy, and fought the lion to the death. This book will hook you before the first chapter is over. It will make you want to sit down and read. And by the end of the book it will make you feel like you are right there beside him. So, if you are looking for a good fast reading book to read, I recommend this book. This book is for all ages. It is easy reading and quick reading.

Summary: emotionally gripping from generation to generation
Review: My nine-year-old daughter recently read this book and loved it, although she thought it was sad and brought her to tears. I shared with her how I, too, had read it when I was in eighth grade. I often read on the hour-long bus ride to and from school. As I was nearing the end of this wonderful book, still a ways from home, I had to grudgingly put it away, for fear that I would cry aloud on the bus! When I got home, I found a quiet abandoned room and finished the book, crying through the entire ending. I remember everything about my surroundings that day as I finished this heart-wrenching story, just as one remembers other events that evoke strong emotions. It's a book that you'll never forget and will want a copy of for your personal library, even if your child has already read it in school, as mine has.
