The Call of the Wild

Richard Adams, Richard Adams

Like Buck's story, this epic follows animals through danger and hardship from their own perspective, with a strong sense of instinct, leadership and the harshness of the natural world.

Anna Sewell

A classic told by a horse who passes through kind and cruel owners, much as Buck does, showing how humans shape an animal's fate and character.

Garth Stein, Christopher Evan Welch

Narrated by a dog with a deep inner life, it offers a modern, more emotional take on seeing human behaviour through an animal's eyes and loyalty.

Gary Paulsen

A lean, gripping survival story in the Canadian wilderness where, like Buck, a young boy must shed comfort and learn the hard rules of nature quickly.
