I pick up this book from a public library and the librarians told me that the book was interesting and awesome and I read 2 chapter and I thought it was a boring book but then I realize that it was really cool and I did finish.This is a story of a boy called billy and he doesn't go to school and he was inspired to go hunt by his father and other family and about a boy who buys and trains two Red-bone Coonhound hunting dogs. the

This was one of my favorite books as a boy. I was also a big fan of Summer of the Monkeys, but this one broke my heart each time I read it. And of course I never had a dog, but someday I'd like to have a hound dog. And also maybe a son. I'm less sure about living in the Ozarks, but I haven't ruled it out yet.

so sad :(((((

Billy really wanted a dog as a kid but he was told by his dad that he couldn’t afford one. Billy’s dad gave him some rodent traps but Billy was not satisfied with just those traps. Then One day in a catalog he sees some coonhounds for $25.Billy starts to train his dogs to hunt coons. Billy promises his dogs that all they had to do was tree the coon and Billy would do the rest for them. This tree was a huge sycamore tree it was bigger than Billy's house. Billy stays there and his father finds [...]

You would like this book if you liked dogs/sad books.

Ending was good; the rest of the book was basically about these two coon dogs killing raccoons and their country bumpkin owner. Oh and btw I hate hunting so that definitely helped me like the book (that was sarcasm) 3/5 stars; just not for me Read for school

This book is a touching story about a boy with to dogs and the adventure of a racoon hunter. This story has happy and sad moments that will make you cry. I read this book in the 7th grade Engligh class. It is a great story for young kids, and also parents with kids. It shows the bond between kids and there pets.

A truly heart warming but sorrowful tale of a boy and his dogs. I had to get this book when I saw Where the Red Fern Grows, I always loved this story and hope to pass it on, since I first read it in fourth grade.

Read this with my 12 year old son for our Parent Child Book Club. It was one of his favourite books from school last year. It is a lovely story about a boys and his dogs, a bit of a surprise choice for my sonsince he usually goes for the fantasy and gore books.

This book is a heart warming story that is about a boy with to dogs and the adventure of a racoon hunter. This story has happy and sad moments that will make you cry which I'm prety sure you will. It isa great story.

i was around 10 when i read this for school, and was sobbing so hard at the end that in order to finish it my mother had to read the last pages to me aloud, then she started sobbing. clearly we're wusses.

The dog genre is a little too boyish for me, but this was probably my favorite.

I didn't read all of the related readings, but a lot of them I did not want to read.

the relationship between the dog and the boy reminds me of me and my dog but i think i would die if my dog died on me! -tear- =(

Class Work
