Book Review: Tom Sawyer

A few weeks ago I read a book called The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. It's about a boy who gets into trouble a lot with his friend Huckleberry Finn. In one adventure Tom, Huck and Joe Harper run away to an island on the Mississippi river. There they stay till Tom sneaks back to his aunts house to see her. There he listens to her and Joe's mom talking about him and Joe. When he sneaks back he tells Huck and Joe about it and they decide to go back on their funeral. When they go back they surprise everybody there. Another time he finds a bunch of gold!!

This is Tom Sawyer.

This is the Author Mark Twain.

Book Review: The Call of the Wild

This is a map of the Yukon Territory where the story takes place.

This is a picture of what Buck may have looked like.

This is the author, Jack London.

The Call of the Wild is a book written by Jack London. It is about a dog named Buck who is dognapped and taken to Alaska to pull sleds. While he is there he slowly becomes a wild dog and hunts with wolves. One of my favorite parts is when he hunts a moose. He tracks the moose until the moose wears out. This shows that Buck is becoming more wild. He meets a man on the way named John Thorton. He saves John Thorton a lot of times because he loves him as his master. One time, Buck pulled a 1,000 pound sled 100 yards to help John Thorton win a bet. In the end some Indians kill John Thorton and Buck becomes wild.

I sort of liked this book. I would give it a 7 out of 10.
