The Call of the Wild by Jack London*

Buck has lived the posh life in California on a large estate.  One of the workers steals Buck and sells him.  Soon Buck is struggling to survive in the Yukon territory during the 1890's Klondike Gold Rush.  His intelligence and work ethic serve him well as adjusts to pulling sleds, tough sled dogs,  and cruel men.  
Well-written.  Lots of challenging vocabulary for modern readers.
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
Points to discuss/warnings: animal cruelty, violence, death
