Where the Red Fern Grows
Overview & Summary
Young Billy Coleman saves for two years to buy a pair of prized hunting hounds, Old Dan and Little Ann, and trains them into a formidable raccoon-hunting team in the Ozark Mountains, forming a bond so deep that when tragedy strikes both dogs, the loss becomes one of the most famous, tear-jerking passages in children's literature. Wilson Rawls's novel is a beloved classic about the fierce loyalty between a boy and his dogs.
