Red Dog is a book about a boy, Adam, whose mother has remarried and they have moved from Tennessee to Wyoming territory. Adam is real resentful to his stepfather and doesn’t want him to be his father. Adam also has a puppy who he is trying to train to be a tracker, so far to no avail. The puppy has been trying to tree a big mountain lion. One day the stepfather leaves to put a claim on the land they are on because there are gold seekers in the area and they are not very nice at all. While he is gone, Adam is in charge of the family chores and to protect his mother and little sister. On a stormy evening, the gold seekers break into the house and hold the family hostage and threaten to kill them if they do not hand over the deed to the land. Adam escapes in the night to go warn his stepfather about the men. In the end, all is well and Adam has a great relationship with his stepfather. I think this book is a good one to keep in your class for the boys to read (girls will like it too). Bill Wallace seems to be a popular author to students, so I decided to read one of his books. After reading Red Dog, I will be reading more of his books because I enjoyed it a great deal. I would use this book as an option for the boy students to read instead of Little House books while studying pioneer ways. I might have students write a story about what would happen if they were left in charge of their family. What chores would they have to do? This also is a great time to do research on mining gold or even on mountain lions. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
