The book Where the Red Fern Grows is a great story about

a boy named Billy and his two dogs. The book is written by

Wilson Rawls. He did an outstanding job in describing some

of Billy's thoughts and feelings. Mr. Rawls has really outdone

himself this time. If it isn't obvious, I really liked this book. I

really liked the part when Billy got his two dogs, Little Ann

and Old Dan. He saved all of his money for those dogs. He

had big plans of the three of them being a hunting team. This

goes to show that dreams can and do come true if the

dreamer works hard enough for it. I like how Mr. Rawls

described Billy's exuberance and the cute little puppies'

sense of innocence. Another one of the many good parts in

the book Where the Red Fern Grows is the death of Old

Dan and then Little Ann. Billy had worked so hard to get

those dogs and he had grown so attached to them both

through their many adventures, topped off by the mountain

lion incident. This part in the book is by far the saddest and

almost brought a tear to my eye. By far the most touching

part of the book and my personal favorite part is when Billy

goes to say good-bye to his buried dogs and he sees the red

fern. He then remembers the old Indian legend about where

the red fern grows, hence the name of the book. Mr. Rawls

did a great thing when he made the ending a happy one. This

is a terrific book that is very happy and sad at the same time.

It's a literary masterpiece. While reading the book I felt what

Billy was feeling. It was written so good that I could just put

myself in Billy's place. Once again, this is a great book.
