Sounder by William H. Armstrong

Sounder is a great story. It is about a boy who is black and his family is poor. The author doesn't tell you the boy's name. The family has a dog named Sounder. The main characters are the boy and Sounder.
The dad is a sharecropper and Sounder is their hunting dog. The dad gets taken to jail. Sounder runs after the truck to save the dad and the dog gets shot. Sounder is hurt badly and wanders off after he gets shot. The boy finally finds him. The dad finally gets to come home.

Railey's Rating: Thumbs up. It is a good book.
Railey Recommends this book to kids in third grade and older. It is a bit sad and scary when the dad gets taken away to jail and Sounder gets shot.
