It is nine o'clock on Sunday evening. Anna isn't listening to her favorite pop music. Instead, she is reading a book called The Call of the Wild. For one thing, Ms. Woo, her teacher asked her to write a report about the book. For another, the book is so wonderful that she can't wait to finish it.

He meets many difficulties and he has to learn to take care of himself. Buck becomes the lead dog finally. Later, Hal becomes Buck's new owner. Hal is a bad man and often beats Buck.
