Book Reviews of Where the Red Fern Grows

I loved this book as a child, and loved reading it to my own children. The author takes us into a unknown Florida ecosystem, and puts us right inside the skin of a boy. I think we all cried, and all loved the book.

Even my caustic brother cried at the end.

ISBN 0440412676 - Forced to read this book in 8th grade, a looong time ago, I did what most young teens would do - I read it, wrote the book report and forgot about it. Since then, I have returned over and over to read it again. Wouldn't my English teacher be thrilled? If you have, or ever had, a dog OR a heart, this book is bound to touch you. And while it IS a great kids' book, don't let that stop you from reading it as an adult. It's far too good to let the kids to keep it to themselves!
