The Call of the Wild
By Jack London
BananaSqush01
The Call of the wild. When I read ''The Call of the Wild''. It was sad and quite inspiring. In this troubled book it's like Jack London is telling a powerful and strong massage. Although this is only a shortened version of ''White Fang '' it is still just as good. In this story Buck a much loved dog is kidnapped and transported to the snowy northwest Canada where he must work for the gold hunters of the 1890s gold rush. As the adventure unfolds Buck finds himself becoming more wild until the end Buck must fight a pack of wolves and answers to the call of the wild. Buck is an amazing and wild at heart character that is brave and true. this really shows what people can do to dogs and what dogs can do back. I give this book 4\1-2 stars. It is so sad that Jack London killed himself and I recommend it for people a least 13+ because of the strong volante themes.
Farewell to Manzanar; A True Story of Japanese American Experience During and After the World War II Internment
By Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston
This was actually a pretty decent book.It's about this young Japanese- American girl that lives with her brothers and sisters in Fresno, California.She gets treated different by everybody just because her race is japanese and she looks different.Her family then gets booted out of their home taking barely anything and are forced to get onto a bus to take them to an internment camp.They live an extremely hard life at the internment camp, living in the middle of the desert with wind blowing in their uncomfortable and unbareable living situations.They had to live in things called barracks, which were outside where all the dust could blow in.After a couple years living in these terrible conditions.The girl (Jeanne Watkatsuki Houston) and her family are finally able to move out of it with thousands and thousand of many other innocent Japanese americans who did absolutely no harm to anyone whatsoever.Just like how the african americans were taken as slaves and dubbed as dumb, and stupid, or as property because of race and skin color.Not fair at all.Jeanne goes to school, she has now grown up quite a bit and is no longer the scared, seven year old girl she was when her family got moved to the internment camp.She does batton twirling and other things.She makes friends with a girl and one day wants to join girl scouts.The next day the girl comes back and says no just because Jeanne is Japanese and is different then white people.The story then goes on and Jeanne becomes an adult and has her own kids,the story ends with her taking her kids on a road trip to visit the old,destroyed internment camp where she was basically held prisoner for no reason.It holds a lot of memories for her.I had to read tis book for summer read for English class and then write an essay on it.I really though it was an important book because it has to do with racial unfairness and injustice just because another person is different or their skin is a different color.That is the theme of this book.Overall,it was pretty well written, almost like a biographical kind of book and also historical too.Anyone who likes books or topics about history or world wars 1 or 2 would like this book.

Torpedoed: The True Story of the World War II Sinking of "The Children's Ship"
By Deborah Heiligman
Imagine being stuck out in the middle of the ocean in a lifeboat with only a "dipperfull" of water for 8 DAYS. You have lost hope, and crew members are going crazy- drowning themselves, yelling random phrases. When ships come towards you, your heart soars. Yet they turn away, unaware of Lifeboat 12. Kenneth Thompson tells a remarkable story and keeps the reader in suspense. I would rate it 9+, and an absolute must for readers that like historical fiction.
