About Author

  1. Wilson Rawls was born on September 24, 1913, in the Ozark country of Scraper, Oklahoma His mother home schooled her children, and after Rawls read Jack London s canine centered tale Call of the Wild, he decided to become a writer.But the Great Depression hit the United States in 1929, and Rawls left home to find work His family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1935, and he came home each fall to work and hunt He wrote stories while he traveled, but his lack of formal education hampered his grammar, and he could not sell anything In 1958, he gave up on his dream and burned all his work He later revealed his literary desires to his wife, Sophie, and she encouraged him to keep writing.In a three week burst, Rawls wrote Where the Red Fern Grows, a highly autobiographical and poignant account of a boy, his two hounds, and raccoon hunting in the Ozark Mountains His wife edited his grammar and, after serialization in the Saturday Evening Post, Doubleday published the novel in 1961 By the late 1960s, word of mouth helped the book become a classic for young readers Rawls wrote and Sophie edited one book, The Summer of the Monkeys, in 1976 This, too, became a classic Rawls died in 1984 in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

  1. I read this book in 4th grade One day I was waiting for class when an obnoxious boy decided it would be a good idea to take it I informed him that it was my favorite book in the whole wide world and if he didn t give it back that he d be sorry He then threatened to tear the book in half With that I walked over to him, hit him over the head with my cast I had broken my wrist a few weeks prior , took my book and calmly walked away.I think that a book that inspires someone to violence in the 4th gr [...]

  2. this is one of my favorite books in all the land i read it at least a million times when i was little, and it holds such a special place in my heart, i can t even begin to review it having said all that, there are those who have a problem with the ending, because let s just say it s fairly devastating so, as a band aid to the heart of monica , i have rewritten the ending to make it a little jolly with all apologies to wilson rawls, whose ending i thought was spectacular, allow me to present THE [...]

  3. I read this book in sixth grade and cried my twelve year old heart out Another book I share with my sixth grade students What I find is that this book in particular allows the boys in my class to get emotional about a story and be able to talk about it together and normalize it It is almost a contest for them of who got most upset One student said he finished it on a plane ride home and that the flight attendant kept coming up to him asking him if he was alright I ve had many students tell me th [...]

  4. Let me say first that some love this book and to be fair I never read it except to get an idea of the story updated please read what I actually said there Any book I don t care for enough to finish will usually get a 1 star or at best a 2 You will find in my books low ratings for Black Beauty, The Yearling, Old Yeller and any books that have the pain of life motif in common By the way this includes Cold Mountain Look up my review and you ll see I try to give recognition that it s well written bu [...]

  7. We finished it I read this aloud with my kids and as I read through the final sentences, we were all in tears I am not talking teary eyes, but body rocking sobs My six year old did not stop for almost twenty minutes When he was finished he said it was the greatest story he had ever heard My eight year old wanted to meet the author and thank him for such a great book I loved this book and recommend it to everyone Just read it with a box of tissues nearby.

  8. Men, said Mr Kyle, people have been trying to understand dogs ever since the beginning of time One never knows what they ll do You can read every day where a dog saved the life of a drowning child, or lay down his life for his master Some people call this loyalty I don t I may be wrong, but I call it love the deepest kind of love It s a shame that people all over the world can t have that kind of love in their hearts, he said There would be no wars, slaughter, or murder no greed or selfishness I [...]

  9. A young boy dreams of having pets of his own wait, scratch that to mean dogs of his own because technically they already have a pet cat Sammy I m thinking Sammy doesn t matter much to the family since the dad laughs at the cat limping with injured paws when he accidentally keeps getting his paws injured from Billy s trap At least he gets bandaged, but Sammie soon abandons the family when he develops a fear of people go figure.The first part of the book is Billy saving up money and working hard t [...]

  11. There are a handful of books we read as children that so completely capture our hearts we cannot and would not ever forget them Where the Red Fern Grows is such a book An elementary teacher read this book to my class when I was in about third grade, beginning for me a love that has seen me through many personal readings, with even readings to my own students through the course of my career as an elementary teacher.What most people do not know is that this classic tale of a boy and his hunting d [...]

  12. If there s one thing I learned from this book it s this Fuck cats Big or small, cats are the source of all evil Hell, even Billy s family left their cat behind when they moved Yeah, man, cats suck.Now that I ve made plenty of enemies, I will try and express my true feelings about this book.I laughed I cried I did a number of cliched things while reading Where the Red Fern Grows Mostly, I had fun I dug running around with Billy and Little Ann and Old Dan, and I hate that I was one of the only kid [...]

  13. view spoiler The dogs die WHY do they always do this to dogs in children s books to quote Gordon Korman s delicious farce, No More Dead Dogs the dog always dies Go to the library and pick out a book with an award sticker and a dog on the cover Trust me, that dog is going down For those sick of getting attached to lovable animals just to have them die in AGONY, try Kate DiCamillo s delightful book, Because of Winn Dixie despite the award sticker on the jacket, Winn Dixie survives hide spoiler

  15. Fantastic emotional roller coaster ride that was as good now as when I read it than 40 years ago I haven t read it since then because I remembered it pretty well knew it came with a TJ Tear Jerker rating There are tears of joy sorrow, triumphs defeats a lot of life in such a few pages Billy s grit determination are something for every child to aspire to.In this read, I found the background of the times most interesting I guess it took place in the 1920 s since the Model T was driving around wit [...]

  17. I was chatting over email with Amy Schimler about her dog Beans, and it got me thinking about my favorite dog book of all time We had to read Where the Red Fern Grows in 5th grade, and I have to admit I was completely dismayed that we had to read a boy book I struggled the whole time to distance myself from Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann, probably flipping my permed hair and muttering this is so stupid and who cares about a couple of dumb dogs under my breath about 20 times But I remember sobbin [...]

  18. This is one of those books I liked so much better when I was a kid Reading it in junior high school it was the story of a little boy who wanted hunting dogs so he can hunt raccoons He worked hard, saved up money, got his dogs, encountered a wild cat, taught the dogs how to hunt, and you had a poignant tender story of a boy running wild and happy in the Appalachians until tragedy strikes I liked it when I was a kid.Reading this book as an adult on the other hand, there were several things that an [...]

  19. I think there are going to be a lot of middle grade readers that end up being a hot mess and their heart ripped out after reading this one Oh wait, maybe I just described myself A wonderful, coming of age story that I truly enjoyed Who would have thought running dogs and catching raccoons could be so intense and exciting So much to this story and one that I highly recommend Grab the Kleenex and brace yourself Loved it

  21. I live in the town where this book was written, and in the movie they filmed a scene in the old hardware store that the boy s grandfather owned Now it is a restaurant named Jincy s Kitchen Great food It is decorated as the movie crew left it Those things are kind of neat, and it is even neat that we have a Red Fern Festival What isn t so neat is that during this festival they have coon hounds chasing a coon skin to a tree, and then the dogs get to that tree and bark up a mighty storm, for in tha [...]

  22. The synopsis a boy gets two purebred hunting dogs, goes around hunting animals Usually succeeds in killing them, although occasionally it stops at mutilation Ends up getting his dogs killed because he s too selfish to rethink his actions and ethics Other stuff happens too, but mostly torturing animals Often given to kids Unless you like sociopaths, don t.God, what an awful book I read this when I was nine for a school assignment I remember loving it I revisited it several years later, after I d [...]

  23. You know how everyone you know says they cried after they watched Old Yeller Yeah, I didn t cry nearly as hard watching that movie as I did when reading this bookworse yet, we read it for an English class in jr high yeah, that s a stigma an already geeky girl needs on her middle school resume Regardless of that, this is still one of my all time favorite books It does a great job of portraying loyalty, stamina, work ethics, and love at a level that children and adults can understand and relate to [...]

  25. This was a nice quick read It felt dragged out, but the plot and overall message was very deep The book wasn t that long to begin with and somehow it did happen to feel lengthy I like how it is realistic and the author didn t hold back on depicting real life events I never had any pets as a child so it was nice reading about this unbreakable bond Billy had with his dogs I admired the way he was portrayed He seemed to never give up and strived to achieve his goals Also, at that age not many kids [...]

  26. A classic so called tear jerker and for good reason, when we read Where the Red Fern Grows in grade six English we also watched the movie , I most definitely was crying at the end, not just for the dogs, but also for Billy, having lost both of his loyal and treasured pets However, as much as I was emotionally moved and yes, affected by Where the Red Fern Grows, I have also always had some major and problematic issues with this novel, namely with the amount of hunting that is described and in my [...]

Most all of us remember this from our childhood and have similar feelings to this very day How can a book not be five stars while still evoking such memories so many decades later But today I read for the first time a short excerpt of the authors life that some kind soul at wrote and it compounds the feelings this book will bring to memory down the road Obviously, the book is a recommendation for all, you, your nephews and nieces, and children especially so they can talk about their feelings aft [...]

This book can easily be the best book i have ever read The book is about a young boy you wants to buy a pair of hunting dogs, but does not have enough money After a while he saves enough and buys them, and names the dogs Big Dan and Little Ann The book is great for many people becasue you can relate youself to the characters no matter who you are The story flows very easily and reads very well This book is one of those kinds of books that once you start, you just cant put it down, and you keeps [...]

  29. This book belongs on that special list of YA books that stay with you for the rest of your life You remember them, remember how they changed your perspective, how they made you feel, and how they helped you grow up This book in particular belongs at the top of that list for me, right alongside Bridge to Terebithia, and I consider it a mandatory title for anyone who is in the process of growing up Clear as a bell I remember the night I finished it, right before or quite after, as was likely my b [...]

  30. If I wasn t already, this book was bad enough to make me non religious.Not only is Where the Red Fern Grows incredibly dry it reads like the Bible except ten times boring but it seemingly lacks a plot and has minimal character growth Worse than all that, though, everything in the story lacks consequence At one point, a childhood rival accidentally axes himself to death in the midst of a petty fight with the protagonist, Billy, and his two dogs In less than a few pages, Billy and his family move [...]
