Where the Red Fern Grows

Where the Red Fern Grows
by: Wilson Rawls

The story Where The Red Fern Grows was about two dogs named Little Ann and Old Dan and a boy named Billy. Billy loved to coon hunt; he was so good at it he went to the championship coon hunt. He came first in the beauty pageant competition. They also came first in the coon hunt. When Billy got home that’s when everything went bad. After like 2 weeks they been home Billy and the dogs went hunting again. They went into the mountains. The dogs was in a battle with a mountain lion and Billy killed the lion when the lion had made a big cut in Old Dan. When they were walking home the dog’s intestines fell out and when they got home he died. So that made him sad; also it made Little Ann devastated so she died from loneliness.

I liked the book Where The Red Fern Grows. It was mysterious at times because you didn’t know what was going to happen next. It was also sad at times. So it’s a good book for you if you like stories of friendship and if you like animals.
