Some will tell you that this is the best dog book ever written. "The Call of the Wild" follows Buck on a whirlwind journey to Alaska to become a sled-dog. Learning the hard lessons of life quickly, Buck loses the trappings of civilization and uncovers his own primitive nature. This 1903 classic is a must-read, not only for the quality of its prose but for its complexity of character. A great book for young readers facing transitional stages of life, it's also a story that gets better with multiple readings.
