Week 2

Where the red fern grows. So far this is a fantastic book. This boy named Billy who lives in the Ozarks really wants two redbone coonhounds. He thinks of ways to get them but none work. His dad bought him some traps to get his mind off the dogs, but soon later they grew old and he began to ask for the dogs again. He knows that they don't have the money, but he would do anything to get those dogs. The next day he crossed the river to see what some fishermen left behind. He finds this outdoor magazine and is thrilled. He looks in the back and finds the dogs for sale section. He sees the coonhounds that he wnats and they sell for $25 a piece, so he has to xcome up with $50 before anybody else buys the dogs.
