Stone Fox is a good book because Little Willy never gives up. He took care of a farm because his grandfather was sick and he was only ten! Willy needed money to pay taxes, but he didn't have any money. Because Willy never gives up, he entered a race against Stone Fox, a Native American from the Shoshone tribe. Here is the sad part. Willy's dog Searchlight died from running too fast. Searchlight would never give up either. I liked this book it teaches us how to persevere more.
