Stone Fox

BOOK NAME: Stone Fox
AUTHOR: John Reynolds Gardiner

For November, we’ll be reading Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner. This is the story of Little Willy, his dog Searchlight, and their struggle to save Willy’s grandfather’s farm. This book was recommended by DogEared member Bubblewink7. Learn more about this month’s book on the Book of the Month page.

Look for a copy of the book in the local library, or ask your parents to help order it online. We will read the first three chapters of the story for our meeting on Wednesday, November 10. See you there!

. . . So far the books done in the “Book of the Month” club remind me of suggested reading from school lists . . .I think we can all agree that most lists are out of touch with today’s interests. I am not at all interested in this book, and will continue to be non-interested until the club comes up with something much more better.

Really, really good book. We read it in fourth grade as a class book. I was shocked at some of the twists. A pretty easy read, but very good.

Is it sad? I mean, our la class calls any sad book, a “yellow diog book”. (old yelled reference) (the dog dies at the end)

I read this in 3rd grade, and it was such a sweet and memorable story. My teacher, after we read the book, let us watch the movie. in the movie, searchlight’s name is changed to morgan, and our teacher cried when searchlight/morgan died

I remember reading this book in third grade. We read the book and watched the movie. It was a little sad but very touching.

I love the book but its really sad. In the movie, they call Searchlight Morgan. Personally, I like Searchlight better and hate Morgan. That name is dull for such a good dog!! I read this book in third grade. After we finished reading the book, we got to watch the movie. Its really really really really really really really really really really really sad at the ending. But the author of the book did a great job writing the book. Its so cute at the ending. I think Stone Fox was really nice at the ending. GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
