Such a great book, and if you’ve ever been to the Ozarks you know that the author does a fantastic job describing the beauty. Growing up in a family of hunters, with both beagles and coon hounds this book really took me back to my childhood. I read through laughter, smiles, and tears. A really beautiful way to reminisce on a childhood long since gone. ❤️

It's nice that the author was able to reminisce about his childhood, but we should probably leave this book in the past.

My whole family enjoyed this book, me (34F), my husband (36M), our daughter (9F) and our son (6M). We listened to it on Audible on road trips. I read this book as a kid also and loved it then.

I wish I had read this book back in middle school, however, this book was still amazing and shows how even for boys it's okay cry.
