This was a greAt but really sad book. It is about the true bound between 2 dogs and the dogs boy.....

Amazing, but it is also so sad. *sniffle*

This is a book about a ten year old buy who really wants two dogs, but not just any dogs, these special type of dogs. The book goes through of him spending two years to earn enough money to buy these two dogs he saw in a magazine ad. It is a really special book and I love it a lot because it is so heart warming. Try to read it if you can.

I cant wait to start reading it looks great!!!!

This book is really fun to read! Just wish the plot would make more sense through out the story

Where the red fern grows is a sad but good story it is about a boy and his dogs and all the fun times they had it is not a real story from life but i love it!!!

Sad, but good, So emotional!

I gave this book a 4 star rating because it was a really good book I think it was a little emotional more twords the end of the book. You will have to read about it to find out why it it emotional. Its about a boy who had dreams about buying 2 puppies but his mom said that he had to save his own money so he could have enough money to buy them. He had to save up for 2 years! And when he gets the money he buys the dogs but something happens to one of the dogs! Read more about this book to find out what happens and why this book is emotional.

Great review! Thank you for not adding spoilers, I think you can talk a little more about the dogs since the book revolves around them, bot other than that, amazing review!

it is sad but really good with a good theme.

This story is about a boys with a dream. His dream is to have two hunting hounds. This book is in my head a classic. I highly suggest it (a little warning though you will cry). I thought it was the best book I'll probably read. I suggest it only to 5th and up because some of the words are hard to understand.

Definitely, that's a very well written review. How long do you think this book should remain a classic before it becomes too outdated to the point where younger generations can't understand the story?
