"Where The Red Fern Grows"

Hi there!!

Ok... so a few months ago, I read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. It was a really great read!!  There are a few scary parts, so it is definitely not a child's book. Beware though if you read it... you will not be dry-eyed!! :)

Pros: It is about a family during the Great Depression that is going through some hard times, but they all learn to pull together. Christianity is sprinkled throughout the book, and altogether it is a really fun read!!

Cons: There is a lot of violence and blood. One boy is killed by falling over an axe. There is mild drinking of Moon Shine, and also mild language.

Personally, I love the book. It has lots of animals, and most of the book is in the woods!! There are also a lot of great morals!! ENJOY!!

  1. Oh, goodness. That is a great book. I read it in sixth grade, and have never regretted it! I didn't cry, but I have to agree, it is VERY sad.
