Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

As a dog lover, I adore this book and not just because it’s from the perspective of a dog. Buck’s story about survival and perseverance is one that is not easily forgotten. A fantastic modern classic, The Call of the Wild will teach children that even the biggest of challenges can be overcome, as long as you’re willing to try.

Buck, a loving and docile St. Bernard mix becomes forcibly changed when he is nabbed from his home in sunny California and sold into service as an Alaskan sled dog.

Forced to endure the harsh climate of the Yukon backcountry, Buck becomes progressively more savage in an effort to stay alive among the other dogs in the pack. Relying on primal instincts, Buck emerges as an intimidating and fearless leader in the wild.

Jack London’s most famous tale is a stark reminder of how important it is to trust one’s instincts. Though examined through the eyes of a dog, The Call of The Wild is a tale far greater than that of a life lived on four paws. London’s intention is clear: When faced with dire and inhumane conditions, there is nothing left to do but revert to a wild state fight to stay alive.

From the Publisher

"Lawlor's matter-of-fact interpretation of Buck's perceptions, experiences, and above all, his helplessness to control his fate successfully stir up as much intimacy and compassion as any human character might." —-AudioFile
