The Call of the Wild by Jack London
3.0
Buck is a large St. Bernard living on a ranch in California when he is stolen and shipped north to become a sled dog during the Klondike gold rush. Buck quickly adapts to the cold, to the work, and to the environment; but as he is sold from one human to another, he slowly becomes more fierce and more wild. When his beloved human dies, Buck rejects human companionship and runs wild with wolves.
The premise (adventure story of a dog pulling sleds in the Yukon territory) seems like it would be a great option for late-elementary school aged children...but this book is probably too violent for that age group. Since it was written in the early 1900s, it also has terms that are not acceptable today. Recommend to older children / teens, or have children read with a caring adult.
