sad but really really really good ;-)
this book is the best and saddest book i have ever read! i cried and cried when old dan and little anne died. but i don't think that this book should be 9+ because of how it describes one little boy's death. it talks about soooooooooo much blood.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!
This book is a heartwarming and emotional book that shows how much the love between a boy and his dogs really is and how much they are willing to doe for each other. AND BE PREPARED TO CRIE!!! For it's a real tear jerker.

Amazing <3
Amazing book. My sister wanted me to read it. We made a bet to see if I would cry or not. If I cried then I give her a dollar if I don't I give her a dollar. I owe my sister a dollar. :'( I really did cry at the end. It's such a cute and sad book.

I don't want to spoil the story but I'll just say the book did say things about blood.

5 Stars No Doubt
This one of the best books that you will ever read. You will especially connect to this book if you are an animal lover (I am). This story is heart warming and the way the author wrote this book, you'd think you were actually there!! I reccommend this to anyone who is looking for a gripping read that will entertain you throughout the whole book. Where the Red Fern Grows is one of those books tht you never forget.

Good for Late Elementary School to Early Junior High students
I think that it is a great novel for children over the age of seven who do not have a problem with the concept of hunting.

I am reading it for my 6th grade class and the book is ok but it is kind of boring. I wouldn't be good for kids under 13.

This is a great book that I highly recommend to anyone over the age of 11. The book is probably too violent for younger kids. The book describes in detail the gory scene of a boy falling on an axe and splitting his chest open. The book says "I say a small red bubble appear from his mouth, then it popped and he fell to the groud lifeless and limp." A lot of my classmates (11) were disturbed. I wasn't, but of course I'm trained to handle emergency surgery in brutal situations so I'm used to that stuff. The book also describes hunting in detail but is ok. A great classic

Perfect for older kids
I haven't finished reading this book yet, but I like to read sad stories for some reason. Anyway, I really like this book, and before I started it, I thought that it would be kinda weird, and that I wouldn't like it, but from the beginning, it caught me, and now I can't stop reading!

Okay
It was okay for me. I'm not a dog-lover, so maybe that's why I didn't love it too much. Parts of it were slow for me, probably because I like action more. Still a wonderful and moving tale though.

GET YOUR TISSUES!!
I read this book for summer reading and it brought me to tears multiple times. Here's what I think:
ROLE MODELS: Billy is very loyal to his dogs, and does what he can to save him, even if it means risking his own life. Little Ann and Old Dan stick with Billy and are there for him.
VIOLENCE: Little Ann and Old Dan are killed by a mountain lion, and a 14 year old boy trips on an ax and his killed. (but not without blood and gore!!)
LANGUAGE: D--n a couple of times, Billy uses h--l twice, and b---h

Hot Book! >:D
this book is a super great book, i think whoever reads this, you will never forget in a million years what this book is about. And also, this book talks a lot of bloody stuff, like Old Dan got a huge cut in the middle of his stomach, and blood all over the place... well anyways, most of the people reading this book will usaully cry and cry and cry, but I think their is nothing so impression for you to cry for. However, once again this is a great book, everybody over 11 should read it.
PS: have fun!!!!!!
