{"product_id":"call-of-the-wild-9780142405710","title":"Call of the Wild","description":"Part St. Bernard, part Scotch shepherd, Buck is a sturdy crossbreed canine accustomed to a comfortable life as a family dog -- until he's seized from his pampered surroundings and shipped to Alaska to be a sled dog. There, the forbidding landscape is as harsh as life itself during the gold rush of the 1890s. Forced to function in a climate where every day is a savage struggle for survival, Buck adapts quickly. Traces of his earlier existence are obliterated and he reverts to his dormant primeval instincts, encountering danger and adventure as he becomes the leader of a wolf pack and undertakes a journey of nearly mythical proportions. Superb details, taken from Jack London's firsthand knowledge of Alaskan frontier life, make this classic tale of endurance as gripping today as it was over a century ago. One of literature's most popular and exciting adventure stories, The Call of the Wild will enrich the reading experience of youngsters, and rekindle fond memories of a favorite among older generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puffin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142405710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.22w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/13\/2006 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2006 pg. 251\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2006 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e104768 \/ Jack London's the Call of the Wild: The Graphic Novel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jack London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43291120566453,"sku":"9780142405710","price":11.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_70b646bb-4aff-4eeb-baa6-a30e1b061e86.jpg?v=1700540165","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/call-of-the-wild-9780142405710","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
