Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two, dogs. So when he’s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own he’s ecstatic.

Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters - now friends - and in time Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair.

Where the Red Fern Grows is a beloved classic that captures the powerful bond between man and man’s best friend. It will stand the test of time as long as there are boys and girls who love their dogs - and dogs who love them.
