Red+Dog

Red Dog by Bill Wallace Red Dog is the best book in the world because it is up tempo and interesting http://www.amazon.com __ Red Dog __ by Bill Wallace is an excellent book for young children and teens, because it has so many interesting things that make you want to keep reading. For example, Adam’s father died and his mother needed a man to help out on the land. Adam didn’t like his mother’s new husband, Sam, because he wanted too much to be accepted as part of the family. Adam takes his dog trail hunting and they run into a mountain lion. Later, four unknown men trespass onto Sam’s land and mother was able to hold her ground with one of Sam’s guns. The men left. A few days later, three of the men barged into the house during a terrible storm. Adam and his family had let down their guard. During the night Adam left the house to try and warn Sam about the three men and his family. I liked this book because it is adventurous, mysterious, and suspenseful. You would love it if you enjoy these things. It wasn’t too long, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I did not want to put the book down, which is very unusual for me. This book was also a little mysterious at times. There were parts where it talked about how they punished their kids in the 1800’s. There really wasn’t anything in this book that I didn’t like. This is a single book, but I think it would make a good series. The book reminded me a lot of Old Yeller because Ruff, their dog, protected his family from any dangers that came there way. Readers that like Old Yeller and adventure books would enjoy reading __Red Dog.__

=Adam’s mom just re-married someone and Adam doesn’t like him. They lived in the lonely woods of Wyoming. Adam has a red pup that is his best friend. One-day, Adam’s stepfather has to leave on a business trip and Adam is put in charge. Adam was protecting the family and the house fine and then these gold prospects come hold the family at gunpoint. One night Adam escapes and then they let the dog loose which is bad because the dog can track Adam very well. Will the pup lead hem to Adam and will he save every one else? My favorite part is when Adam finally saves the day but you will have to read to find out how. If you like action and adventure will some mystery in it than you would love Red Dog. =
