Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann - a boy and his two dogs.

A loving threesome, they range the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan has the brawn, Little Ann has the brains, and Billy has the will to make them into the finest hunting team in the valley. Glory and victory are coming to them, but sadness waits too.

Where the Red Fern Grows is an exciting tale of love and adventure you'll never forget.
