Billy, old Dan and little Ann-a boy and his two dogs...
A loving threesome, they ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains-and Billy had the will to train them to be the finest hunting team in the Valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too. And close by was the strange and wonderful power that's only found...
WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS
An exciting tale of love and adventure you'll never forget.
Young Billy having purchased two dogs for fifty dollars is determined to create the valley's best hunting team.

This was my son's favorite novel in 8th grade. That says something for all the teachers out there!

My son, age 11, and I just finished this book and as soon as I closed it up he said, "Mom, that was a really great book. I really liked it!" That was music to my ears!

I could read this one over & over. One of my all time favs!

This book is an all-time classic... and it's also the book that probably started my phobia of mountain lions...

My 5th grade teacher read this book aloud to my class, and I've been in love ever since! I've reread it countless times since then, and I love to pass the story along to other readers as well.

A very great but very sad book.

Books like this one were part of the reason I loved reading so much as a child. Whether you're a fifth grader or a 30-year-old, you can enjoy this read. I have read it since becoming an adult, partly to celebrate what made me the booklover I have become and partly to just get some for-sure-good reading. Should be required reading for children.
