In Rawls' book, Where the Red Fern Grows, the reader follows Billy Coleman as he earns the money for two coonhounds over the course of two years by selling things to fishermen and his grandfather.

It has been many years since I read this book, but it remains a favorite along with such classics as “The Yearling” and “Ol’ Yeller”. It is the same type of book, about a young boy who needs a friend and finds one in an animal when human friends are few and far between.       The Ozarks are a region in that stretches from southern Missouri and northern Arkansas in to eastern Oklahoma and Kansas.

This is the first book I can ever remember reading in school that vaguely traumatized me. It's an excellent story for any young adult to read.

The only book that has ever made me cry. Losing someone, or something, you love is the hardest lesson in life. It forever changes you. This book has forever changed countless young people. What a story of friendship, love, and loss.

This book torn my heart to pieces. I read this book in grade six like most people. As this boy ventured off with his dear friends and endured his struggles, I really connected with this book.

This was something that I had to read in my English class back in middle school. I didn't like it and I don't even think I finished it. There's a chance it's just not the genre of literature I enjoy, but I really can't remember anything but being bored by this and not wanting to finish it.
