I was read this to in grade four, and recently picking it up I remembered why I loved it so much. Where the Red Fern Grows covers topics of loyalty, bonds, love and loss into a beautiful package. Billy Colman, the main protagonist, and his relationship with his coonhound pups was one to be idolized and respected. It was so sweet and touching to see this display of affection between the trio, and the adventures they faced together. I cried and felt joy throughout this novel, and have to put out a disclaimer that this is a very sorrowful book. There are themes of violence and sadness but it is a must read and a classic to be treasured for years to come. Rating 4/5 - @jewelreader of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
