Summary: Upset child
Comment: This story is very obviously wonderfully written and very touching. However, I am horrified that the dog dies in the end. My daughter is 9 and LOVES animals and she was devastated. I just had to remind her that it was just a story. It was on her summer reading list and I am going to suggest that they change it for next year.

Summary: A Beautiful story
Comment: This book may be short, but it ends on such a great note (sad, but great!) The main character is developed beautiful and as a reader we can understand him completely and we can feel his pain, worry, and frustration. The grandfather is shown with two side, one side not being that pretty. However much the story is about Willy and his grandfather, it is more just about Willy and his dog, and it is this relationship that makes the book what it is, beautiful.
I would recommend this to anyone, adult and child alike.

Summary: A Book Review by Laura
Comment: This book, Stone Fox, is a book anyone in the world would want to read. This book is about a boy, Little Willy, whose grandfather is ill. So Little Willy needs $500. When Little Willy goes to the store with his dog Searchlight they find a form that says dogsled racing. It says that if you win the dogsled race you get $500. So Little Willy and Searchlight try out. They find out that the Indian who has never lost a race is doing it. Will Little Willy lose or not?
This book is my favorite book because you never know what is going to happen. Like, you don't know if Little Willy and Searchlight are going to win the race or not. It is always that you have to read to find the treasure. You just never want to put Stone Fox down.

Summary: Stone Fox - Room 203 3rd Grade Review
Comment: Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardinier
We read Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardinier. This realistic fiction book is a must read! In this story, Little Willy lives with his Grandfather and dog Searchlight in wintery Wyoming. Grandfather gets very sick, and Little Willy worries he may not survive. Then Little Willy finds out he owes a big tax bill. He needs to pay $500 or they will lose their farm! So Little Willy enters his dog Searchlight into the sled race hoping to win the prize money. Stone Fox, who's never lost a race, also enters. Will Stone Fox keep his victorious record, or will Little Willy overcome the challenge to win the race? Read the book to find out!
You should read this book because it will teach you to face your fears and stay determined! We loved it because it was exciting and inspiring! We were inspired that Little Willy was only 1 of 6 people brave enough to race the intimidating Stone Fox (and the only kid). The description of the neck and neck race was so thrilling, we couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out what would happen next! If you like adventure and dogs, this is the book for you! We strongly recommend this book because it is one of the best books we've read all year!

Summary: Gripping story
Comment: STONE FOX is one of the best written, most gripping children's stories. I have used it in my classroom with children ages 8 - 12. It is a story about a boy, his dog and his grandfather. It has an exciting plot line with a sled race. However I must warn you.... it has a SAD ending. A sign of a good book, I still cry everytime I read it and I have read it many times.
