Where the Red Fern Grows
Written in 1971 and set during the Great Depression, Where the Red Fern Grows is another classic children’s book that seems designed to make us cry. Billy, a ten-year-old boy living in the Ozark mountains, wants nothing more than to get two coonhounds so he can hunt and help provide for his family.
After saving for two years, he can finally afford the dogs—and soon enough they earn a reputation as the best hunters in the Ozarks. It finally seems like things are going well for Billy and his family, until tragedy strikes. Despite all the tears, we still remember this book as one of the best stories about a kid and his dogs—and one of the books that showed us the power of literature.
