LovedI have trumpeted the shes of Jack London every once in a while here one of my favorite non- genre authors construed as a boy author or an adventure author he is much more that's a great book
The Call of the Wild (1903)
Creators: Liked As Buck, a mixed breed dog, is taken away from his home, instead of facing a feast for breakfast and the comforts of home, he faces the hardships of being a sled dog. Soon he lands in the wrong hands, being forced to keep going when it is too rough for him and the other dogs in his pack. He also fights the urges to run free with his ancestors, the wolves who live around where he is pulling the sled.
Loved
LikedCall of the Wild is fine it's a good story I really enjoyed it but White Fang just hit so much harder for me
Likedin the call of the wild buck the masculine ideal think about it go back and look the masculine ideal buck and the man one of the pivotal stories in the entire book they bet what was it like 25 000 or something that buck alone can get a certain sled started and he does it baby yeah he does it
Dislikedthe call of the world by jack london which i didn't love to tell the truth not really my favorite book ever
Lovedi've read called the wild and white fang which i think are brilliant powerful i don't think they're children's books i think as some you know depictions of nature's cruelty and indifference they're pretty much you know unassailable they're just brilliant

Elizabeth GoudgeIn 1842, thirteen-year-old orphan Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, her family's ancestral home in an charmed village in England's West Country, and she feels as if she’s entered Paradise. Her new guardian, her uncle Sir Benjamin, is kind and funny; the Manor itself feels like home right away; and every person and animal she meets is like an old friend. But there is something incredibly sad beneath all of this beauty and comfort, that shadowing Moonacre Manor and the town around it. Maria is determined to learn about it, change it, and give her own life story a happy ending.
The enchanted valley of Moonacre is shadowed by a tragedy that happened years ago, and the memory of the Moon Princess and the mysterious little white horse. Determined to restore peace and happiness to the whole of Moonacre Valley, Maria finds herself involved with an ancient feud, and she discovers it is her destiny to end it and right the wrongs of her ancestors. Maria usually gets her own way. But what can one solitary girl do?
A new-fashioned fantasy story that is as wonderful as the best classic fairy tales.
(The 1994 mini-series "Moonacre" and 2008 movie "The Secret of Moonacre" and the are both based on this book.)
