Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
5.0
Going into this book, I thought it would be one of those old, crappy books you find in the back of your elementary classroom library. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised.
Right away, you are with Billy- you want what he wants, you believe what he believes, you feel what he feels. And when you meet these dogs of his, you get pulled into this web of love even further.
The story itself didn't have a clear plot: it was more like each chapter or two was it's own conflict and resolution. But all the same, it wasn't repetitive and it held me throughout the novel.
The emotions run strong in this book, (I will love you forever if you read that in a Darth Vader voice,) so be prepared for a young boy and his dream-to-reality dogs that will pull your heart into their story and never let you go.
