So when he's finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own--Old Dan and Little Ann--he's ecstatic. It doesn't matter that times are tough; together they'll roam the hills of the Ozarks.\u003cbr\u003e Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Stories of their great achievements spread throughout the region, and the combination of Old Dan's brawn, Little Ann's brains, and Billy's sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters--now friends--and Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair, and that the seeds of the future can come from the scars of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eWhere the Red Fern Grows\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Top 100 Children's Novel, \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Must-Read for Kids 9 to 14, NPR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Great American Read's Selection (\u003ci\u003ePBS\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinner of Multiple State Awards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOver 14 million copies in print \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A rewarding book . . .  with] careful, precise observation, all of it rightly phrased....\u003cb\u003eVery touching.\u003c\/b\u003e\" --\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eOne of the great classics of children's literature \u003c\/b\u003e. . .
