The Call Of The Wild: The Graphic Novel (Campfire Graphic Novels) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Buck, is a four year old shepherd dog, living a pampered life as an estate dog. His life changes when he is suddenly kidnapped and sold into service during the Klondike gold rush, for he is made to haul heavy sleds through the deep snow fields. Being in a new environment, he soon discovers his dominant primordial instinct. He learns not only to survive, but also flourishes in it. Jack London's The Call of the Wild is a masterpiece in both its style, which set a standard for generations to come, and for its genre, raising adventure writing to the level of classic literature. While being exciting and entertaining, Buck's story is also intelligent and thought provoking - a story for all ages.

Getting young readers up to speed on the classics is difficult so this is an easy choice to encourage reading. I provided 5 different stories for my grandsons and asked that they be returned to me when finished as the illustrations are lovely and I want to enjoy them too. The comic book classics are a great vehicle to quickly promote conversations about literature and possibly plant a seed for young people to enjoy the classics when they are more mature.
I was looking for an adaptation of The Call of the Wild that would contain most of the main story elements from the original. This book is pretty good at that. It contains most of the main characters and key events, with beautiful drawings in full color.Attractive graphic novel that should also be of benefit to poor readers in following Jack London's writing.
Reason for Reading: I was introduced to this new imprint of Graphic Novels out of India and was very impressed with their selection and often unique titles. They are distributed here in North America through Random House and I thought I would check them out. This is from their Classics line. They also have Graphic Novel lines under Mythology, Biography & Originals.Jack London The Call of the Wild by Lloyd S. Wagner. Illustrated by Sachin Nagar. 71 pgs. 2010. Ages 13+. A top-notch graphic adaptation of one of my favourite classic novels. This graphic version is amazingly true to the novel. It evokes the same emotions and is as powerful a story as the novel. I can not think of anything that has been left out. The beginning scenes of Buck at home with the Judge are brief though and the graphic version quickly moves to and then concentrates on his Arctic experience. Very emotional read, and hard to read at times as the graphic version keeps the brutality of the original and there are some very graphic scenes not suitable for young readers. The illustrations are highly detailed with full backgrounds, using artistic devises and a pleasure to behold. Another impressive graphic adaptation of a classic story.
This book is an Easy to Read book! My daughter absolutly loved this book. Her favorite character is Spitz because he's always trying to act like the leader. My favorite character is Curly. (Even though she dies. :( ) Jack Londan did a wonderful book and making a classic!!!
I have purchased books from for years, but recently I received a new Visa chip card and would not accept it. For some reason, the purchase of these two books slipped through, but I have been unable to purchase more. Do you know why? I love buying books this way and would really like to have it work again. The reluctant readers in my classroom are voraciously reading any graphic novels I can find them.
Using for my class to help them understand The Call of the Wild better. Great resource, awesome pictures, and quality.
Another classic brought to live by graphic novels. excellent!
A classic beautifully illustrated.
