do you have to buy this book to be able to read it -_-
I cry every , every , every year I read it. My only complaint is... the title???
Im in 4th grade and it is sad I was reading the last page and poor little Willy had to carry his poor little searchlight to the finish like I got a little teary but im ok now! but still sad;( 5/5
Very sad 😢 because searchlight dies
My daughter read this book. When I heard her crying from her bedroom I went to see what was the matter. As I calmed her down I started to read the last couple of chapters. The book was very engaging and the author does a great job of invoking emotion however this was my problem. The story describes a strong loving relationship about a boy and his dog "Searchlight" and goes to great length to pull you in to this relationship. With in an instant and right at the climactic point / end of the story "His heart bursts and he drops dead" WOW really he couldn't have broke a leg or pulled a muscle!?! The author is great and the story is well told. I'm not sure that young children should have to experience the devastation of death so harshly. I believe enjoyment of reading will promote more reading however not sure this book will leave the right impression on a young reader. I almost feel as it should have some sort of warning label or rating like " PG 13"
Well it is sort of rough when you read about Searchlight and how far he's come in the story, to suddenly loose him.
Omg ur over reacting obviously😂
this book is very good but sad
so good
i wonder if this book is good as the dog life. i want to read this book and see which one is better STONE FOX OR A DOG'S LIFE
I read stone fox by John Reynolds Gardiner . This book is about a little kid and his grandfather they live in a potato farm and they only have one dog then there was a race and there was a guy and he was called stone fox he always beat the other racers and when little willy races stone fox one of them won.My favorite part of the book was when stone was standing up for little willy he said ''anyone crosses this line i shoot.''At that point i thought wow he really just did that i thought he would never do that because at first i thought he was selfish but i guess i was wrong.For the most part i LOVED THE BOOK it was great i love it some of it was sad.
