Call of the Wild


Title: Call of the Wild
Author: Jack London
Reviewer: Kurtis

Buck was born on a wonderful farm in California. He was born into a litter of six brothers and sisters. The open fields and fresh air were wonderful to a husky like Buck. His life was perfect until three men came and bought the whole litter of dogs. Buck’s dreamful life was over, the rest of his family would be scattered across the continent. Buck was put into a small wood box not knowing where he was or where he was going. Buck traveled by ship, train, and truck until he got to his final destination, Canada. He was let out of his small box not knowing where he was or what he was going to do at this weird place.

Well the story begins as Massie Block , the most popular girl in school, was now hanging out with Claire, a girl who moved from Orlando, FL. Claire is a sweet, caring girl who meets new people at OCD School (Octavian Country Day). Massies friends, Kristen, Dylan,and Alicia, weren't making Claire feel very welcome there. They made fun of her all the time. Halloween was coming up and Massie and the girls were going to dress up as "Dirty Devils." Massie was getting the costumes ready to bring to school and was running late, she rushed out the door and forgot Claires Dirty Devil costume in her room. After the girls got dressed and they were walking through the halls, everyone complemented them and their costumes. Their shirts were torn and showed a lot of skin, but thats just what they wanted. All of a sudden, almost every girl ripped their shirt and thought they were cool. the Principal yelled at the girls a lot and they got in huge trouble, but in the end Massie and Claire became closer and were actually nice to each other.

On the plane trip to take the kids back to their school for a month until summer vacation,the twins fall out of the plane with the provisions that Wolfe was going to use in the Congo.
