Sounder
Autor William H Armstrong Ilustrat de James Barkleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iun 1995 – vârsta până la 12 ani
The boy knows that times are tough for his family. Every night, his father goes out hunting with their great coon dog, Sounder, to try to put food on the table. But even with the little they bring back, there is still never enough for the family to eat.
When the boy awakens one morning to a sweet-smelling ham on the table, it seems like a blessing. But soon, the sheriff and his deputies come to the house and take the boy’s father away in handcuffs. Suddenly the boy must grow up fast in a world that isn’t fair, keeping hope alive through the love he has for his father’s faithful dog, Sounder.
Readers who enjoy timeless dog stories such as Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows will find much to love in Sounder, even as they read through tears at times.

Recenzii
"Adults and mature young readers alike will find in the boy's bittersweet memories a parable for our time." — Christian Science Monitor
"Sounder is a remarkable story, compassionate, powerfully moving, showing the qualities of dignity and endurance at their highest, in both man and beast. A memorable dog story, it is also the chronicle of a man, a woman, and a boy, equally hard to forget. . . . Sounder will be read for a long time to come." — Wall Street Journal
"The author writes in details that glow alive." — New York Book Review
"The writing is simple, timeless, and extraordinarily moving. An oustanding book." — Commonweal
