A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Call of the Wild and White Fang (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

This is a really good book! It tells everything from this cute little dogs point of view. If anyone tells you it is bad, it is because they are immature. If you like classics, this is a really, really, really good book. But don't trust me! Read it yourself!
