Call of the Wild and White Fang
By Jack London
Two great American classics by Jack London in one volume
The Call of the Wild (1903)and White Fang (1906) are two classic American adventure novels depicting the evolution of two dogs in the wild. The novels are in fact mirror images of one another, as Call of the Wild depicts Buck's journey from domestic to wild dog, while White Fang recounts White Fang's transformation from wild beast to domestic companion. Both convey powerful themes of redemption and survival that continue to affect readers even today.
This elegantly designed clothbound edition features an elastic closure and a new introduction.

I am in 3rd grade and I read this book for interest. Overall, it is a nice story. It has a lot of immature language. I like this book.
Pretty cool it has some bad words but pretty cool.
I like it
a good book
Usually all 1960's and older books have a bad ending.
I agree with you @RedHeadPerson22, nearly everybody succumbs to something. But I liked Buck's character. At the end of the day, I couldn't stand how many good people and dogs passed away in that book. After I finished reading Call Of The Wild, I was left in shock at the ending with a little bit of sadness. My taste is more of suspense than sadness, but I liked the depth of the story. All in all just too many sad parts and I think that's literally all the reader focuses on and it distracts away from what's really going on.
Warning! This review may contain spoilers. Call of the wild: A dog named Buck is kidnapped (or dognapped), and force to work as a sled dog. I didn't read White Fang. What I thought of it: Well, I don't like books about animals (I had to read this for homework). Mainly because the main animal character almost always gets mistreated and/or dies. Buck was definitely mistreated and I hated that. I absolutely can't stand animal cruelty or when animals die. When I'm reading a book and there's an animal and a human, I'd rather the human die than the animal. Buck, thankfully, didn't die. But everyone else did. Almost every single animal and human that appeared in the book died. I mean Curly got ripped apart 10 minutes into the book. I guess I get the purpose of it, but I still didn't like it. That was my main problem with this book. It was pretty well written, though. I liked how even though the dogs didn't talk, you still knew what they were thinking. I liked the way Buck grew as a character. In a lot of books, you just kind of suppose the main character changed over the course of the book, but it's not that obvious. In this book, it was obvious. There was a huge difference between Buck when he was first introduce and Buck when the book ended. He really changed a lot, yet he kept some of his character traits. I really liked that. Overall, I appreciated this book, but I didn't like it.
These 2 are some of the best books ever
