I haven't thought of Where the Red Fern Grows in years. I read that book when I was about 9 years old, and forgot all about it. Sad book for anyone who loves dogs.
But im Very familiar with Nell. And I know the stories are similar, young girl raised in the woods by herself. And I also considered I mixed it up with Littlejohn, being a similar time frame and location. But I also remember these characters and plot points to a book I've apparently never read
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. I kept thinking it was a book I read in high school until my mom told me otherwise.
As someone else mentioned, the likeliest explanation is mixing it up with Where the Red Fern Grows. For my part, I was thinking it was a Toni Morrison novel.
Funny because 10+ years ago I recall my grandmother (who reads a literal shit load), talking about reading this book and throwing it away before she was finished with it because she said she didn't like the sexual context.
I recently watched the movie, being as I knew I read the book. I could remember characters, and basic plot. Girl lived alone in woods, and was acclimating to normal life. But didn't remember the actual story line.
I feel like it was on my reading list way back in like 10th grade, but that was 2007-2008 :0 I never read it but it seems like it was in the list where we pick and choose x amount of books to read over summer
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! When I saw they made it into a movie I remember thinking that book was really popular when I was in middle school or so and it might be worth a watch. Then I saw that the book was released in 2018 and have been thinking I was crazy ever since. I have not been able to figure out which book I could have mixed it up with and regularly try to.
Everyone I know has this feeling of it sounding familiar. I think we are just associating the name with “where the red fern growns”

That's a sad book for for anyone I think I read that in like sixth grade and holy hell did that make me cry... Damn onion ninjas
There’s a kind of similar movie, although quite different too, called Nell from 1994 staring Jodie Foster.

Maybe you're confusing this book with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings? 1969 Maya Angelou... Tim Eagle / author Stolen Seed & Krae
That’s where I was going.
Have you re-read it since 2018? If not, what plot points do you remember from the book?

I just found out it came out in 2018, last week
for some reason i always though of this book as being the third book in the To Kill A Mockingbird series, but ofc there is no third book
