Summary

When men find gold in the frozen north of Canada, they need dogs – big, strong dogs to pull the sledges on the long journeys to and from the gold mines. Buck is stolen from his home in the south and sold as a sledge-dog. He has to learn a new way of life – how to work in harness, how to stay alive in the ice and the snow... and how to fight. Because when a dog falls down in a fight, he never gets up again.

An Oxford Bookworms Library reader for learners of English, adapted from the Jack London original by Nick Bullard.

Critic reviews

"The most consistent of all series in terms of language control, length, and quality of storytelling." (David R Hill ELT JOURNAL REVIEW, 2008)
