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.

I completly agree with Mrs. Jagielski's comment on the book. A very emotional book. I cried a few times, like when he jumped out of the car to get Bandit, when the flood started, when Bandit almost died of heatstroke, and when Bandit got shot. But it is still an awesome book and i think that everyone should read it. BTW I love dogs thats why I cried a lot for Bandit :'(

I really enjoyed reading this book! I learned a lot about Walt Disney World and the secrets behind it. It was very interesting and the illustrations were great! Now I know that there are tunnels under the Magic Kingdom!

I really enjoyed this story! I loved reading about Molly’s dog Bennett, and how she wanted to treat him as if he was still a puppy. It was nice when Molly and her brother finally decided to take care of Bennet together.

I won this book in a giveaway and when I finally got around to reading, it was pretty good but kind of confusing and I just didn't really like it much. It just wasn't very memorable.

we are reading this book in class and i hate it when we have to stop!!! it is about a girl who is captured by the indians and has to learn their way of life. she must learn to talk, act, dress, eat, cook, and work like an indian. this is truely and amazing book i recommend it to everyone!!

I love this book. Much better than the first, but the first is still awesome! This one is better because (drum roll, please) Hattie is trying to become a reporter. Calling all bookworms and writingworms (I know that is not a word, but what am I supposed to say?). Best. Book. Ever.
