Where the Red Fern Grows
by YearlingA loving trio of friends, Old Dan, Little Ann, and Billy ranged the hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains, and Billy had the will to train them to be the finest hunting dogs in the valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but when tragedy overcomes these determined hunters, Billy must learn for himself that hope can come from despair. 304 pages, softcover. Ages 10 and up.
One of the most beloved children’s classics of all time, this unforgettable coming-of-age adventure is a story of love, loyalty, and the bond between a boy and his two dogs. Billy has dreamed for years of owning not one, but two dogs. So when he finally saves enough money to bring home two Redbone Coonhounds—Old Dan and Little Ann—he can hardly believe his luck. Even during hard times, the three become inseparable as they roam the hills of the Ozarks together. Before long, Billy and his beloved hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Word of their adventures spreads far and wide, and the combination of Old Dan’s strength, Little Ann’s intelligence, and Billy’s determination seems unstoppable. But when heartbreak enters their lives, Billy discovers the enduring power of love and resilience, and learns that even loss can leave behind something beautiful.
