Where the Red Fern Grows

Billy has always wanted a dog since he was 10 years old. He didn't want just any breed. No, he wanted a coonhound. He wanted to hunt coons (Racoons) like his dad. 

Ever since he found an ad in the newspaper, he’s been saving up $50 to buy a dog with the help of his Grandpa. 

Then, one day, his dream comes true. Using the money he earnt, he bought two baby coonhounds, Little Ann and Old Dan. 

Turns out, they’re natural hunters. Billy becomes bigger and his love for his coonhounds grows bigger and larger. One day, a Coon Hunting Championship was to be held, and Billy’s grandpa signed him up.

But could he win? With ferocious blizzards, ghost-coons, bets, mountain lions and tragedies, read more to see what happens!

WHY I LIKED THIS BOOK

This book is amazing. That is a basic summary on what I think.

The way it was written is so amazing and so engaging, I read for the whole day non-stop (By non-stop I mean non-stop. I ate while reading as well) and couldn't put it down. 

This book might be the only book that has made me laugh, smile, get angry and cry all in the same day.

The characters are funny, kind and basically very hero-ish, main character-ish characters.

I laughed a lot at the funny bits, smiled at the happy bits and cried during the sat parts. If you like emotional but funny books this is 100% the book for you.

I don't have a single complaint I can make and this book (I say again) is AMAZING.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book and overall, I would read this book a gazillion times and this might be one of the best books I have ever read and I 100% recommend it.
