In Where
the Red Fern Grows, Billy and his precious coonhound pups romp relentlessly
through the Ozarks, trying to "tree" the elusive raccoon. In time,
the inseparable trio wins the coveted gold cup in the annual coon-hunt contest,
captures the wily ghost coon, and bravely fights with a mountain lion. When the
victory over the mountain lion turns to tragedy, Billy grieves, but learns the
beautiful old Native American legend of the sacred red fern that grows over the
graves of his dogs. This unforgettable classic belongs on every child's
bookshelf. (Ages 9 and up)
