Willy ran Searchlight so hard and long for the race that the dog's heart burst. Willy should be locked up for animal abuse. really? )Īnd then we get to that shit ending. It was about a 2.5 star book - pretty bland writing, characters telling rather than showing, and a fairly unbelievable plot (ten year old handles an entire farm in his own. I'm so angry with the author about that ending. Will Willy win? Or will Willy lose the farm? Stone Fox, an Indian who races dogs, also entered. The farm is going under (Grandfather hasn't paid taxes in years) and the only way Little Willy can come up with the money is to enter himself and Searchlight into a dog sled race. Willy holds down the farm, brings in the crops and cares for his depressed grandfather all at the tender age of ten, with the help of his faithful dog, Searchlight. Little Willy's grandfather gives up on life. Young William needs to save the farm, the crops and above all, his grandfather.Īlso me: They call him Little Willy. A book to be read with dignity and grace. I honestly have not gotten whiplash like that in years.
