I reread this childhood classic for my #RereadYourChildhood challenge. I just finished the audiobook and sat in my car weeping. I am unwell. It is beautiful and wonderful but oh so heartbreaking.
35+ years after I originally read this with my mom and sister, Where the Red Fern Grows is just as emotional as ever. Probably one of the first coming of age books I can remember, I had forgotten the details, but one thing I have always remembered are the courageous, loyal, noble, and brave Old Dan and Little Ann. The best dogs a boy could ever have.
I learned more about coon hunting than I thought possible, and enjoyed the adventures that Billy and his dogs went on. Had completely forgotten about much of the story. But I cherished it during this reread.
This book has stood the test of time and remains a beloved classic. I'm so glad I reread it.
