Billy is the main character, in this book he he gets two heart warming dogs. Each night he will go to hunt raccoons. Is that safe. Each night there is a lot of adventure and action. Billy also has 3 sisters. Billy’s family is always very busy. Always helping his father on the farm and many chores during the day then he hunts at night. What a busy life.
I think that this book was very interesting. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. This is my favorite book. My heart was pounding as I read this book there is so much action and adventure, that is partly why I liked this book. I also hunt like Billy does in the story but I hunt ducks and pheasant and sometimes deer. My favorite part was when the dogs chased the mountain lion up into the tree. It was pretty funny and nerve-racking. Billy becomes a lot more brave by the end of the book.
I think this book would be best for ages 8 and up. If you like hunting, dogs, and adventure this book would be good for you. I hope that some of you readers out there choose this book to read.
