Where the Red Fern Grows
What a great read this book has been for S37. We have felt like we have travelled through the mountains with Billy and his two dogs. We have felt tremendous happiness and sorrow while reading this book over the last few months. Not only were we emotionally invested in this book, but we have also used this to enhance our skills to have a deeper understanding of characters.
I really like where the Red Fern Grows because it’s exciting and you want to know what happens next. It is an amazing book and you should definitely read it. I give it five stars. (Ella)
I think you should read this book because it is a very good fiction book. It tells a story about dogs, it’s like a dog book. It gets pretty serious in the climax. It’s like a believe in yourself book. (Zack)

Where the Red Fern Grows in an amazing story about a boy that gets two dogs for $50. He calls one Little Anne and another on Old Dan. I would give it a 10 out of 10!!! (Lili)
I think it’s a good book. There are sad parts in the book and there are happy parts. There are parts where you don’t know what’s going to happen. The main characters are Billy (teen), Old Dan (dog) and Little Ann (dog). Overall I rate the book 4/5 starts. (Nicholas)
I think people should have this book to read because it has a lot of exciting moments and sad too. Out of 5, I would give it a 5 out 5 because the book makes you happy, sad and angry. (Kayleigh)
Big Dan and Little Ann are brave puppies. Little Ann is the smart one and Old Dan is the ‘I want it now, just to get out there’ but he also doesn’t think about it. I give it a 10 star rating out of 10 maybe 100 out of 10. (Caleb)
I think Where the Red Fern Grows is a good book for people who like dogs. Little Anne is the cute dog in the book. Big Dan is the bravest dog in the book. I give this a 5 star rating. (Caedin)
Billy is a boy, a very hard working boy. He worked for two years for his two dogs. Billy won two cups for hunting with the help from Little Ann and Old Dan. I give this book 10/10. (Seb)
I recommend this book because it’s a realistic fiction, it could really happen. Also it’s a good fit book with people who like action adventure. Billy worked for 2 years so he could get $50. He’s a hardworking boy that got two hounds for $25 each. When he got the money he got two dogs and named them Little Ann and Old Dan. I give this book 9/10. (Mitchell)
I think this is a good book for most ages. I think Billy would be known as the best coon hunter. (Riak)
My favourite character is this story is Little Ann because she is brave to do the things she does. I would recommend this book to people who like interesting stories. A really brave character is Billy, he hunts lots of coons with his dogs help. (Saige)

I think that Billy is strong and his dogs because they don’t give up on their journey. I like the book because of how the person writes it. I like old Dan because he attacks. (Jap)
Where the Red Fern Grows is a story about a boy name Billy. He brought two dogs named Old Dan and the other one Little Ann.

Little Ann and Old Dan are hounds that are close to Billy. Billy saved up $50 for 2 years to get his dogs that he wanted. He won a silver cup and a gold cup for his sisters. His sisters were really happy. (Lincoln)
