Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 6-8. Ed Young, whose haunting illustrations of the wolf made his Caldecott- winning Lon Po Po (1989) so memorable, was well chosen as the illustrator for the Scribner Illustrated Classics edition of White Fang. Jack London's 1906 novel. As many will remember, London tells the story of a wolf-dog who endures great cruelty before he comes to know human kindness. The 12 pastel illustrations illuminate the text with their dramatic use of light and dark, sensitively delineated forms, and soft, subtle shades of color. A handsome new edition of a longtime favorite. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Moulding the Clay August 21, 2012
Format:Paperback
This is three great books in one. One is the frequently used analogy of life as clay, where clay represents a creature`s givens, nature, instincts, physical form, and such, and the moulding (London's spelling) is the way that the clay responds to the events and forces of life. A second way is the nearly parable quality of the nature/nurture influences and compelling draws on one's development, and how this parallels human clay and mouldling. The third is the surface story. London's language is beautiful and spot-on in description and development. White Fang, born in the wilds of northwest Canada to a wolf father and a wolf/dog cross mother is the focus of the tale, the story's moving from before his birth, through time in the wild, to his involvement with humans. The transitions of White Fang's life are the moulding, but just as much, the heart of a well-told tale. In his life he faces a variety of challenges, some in nature, some of his `peers', and some from humans. The humans include both Native Americans and white folks of various temperaments and likability. This is a terrific story to enjoy on its surface merits, particularly if one is a `dog' person (as I am). As a conveyance to motivate thought on life and the twin influences on how it unfolds, it's a greater treasure, still.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Adventure of a Wolf January 24, 2013
Format:Paperback
Reviewed by Ethan

Do you like wolves, adventure, and wildlife? Then White Fang by Jack London is a great book for you.

First, this book is adventuresome. White Fang goes on an adventure because his family threw him out of the pack so he lives in the wild and takes care of himself. While he is on his adventure, he gets in a fight with a bulldog and a female lynx. Does he win or does he lose? Read the book to find out.

Second, I like this book because it is exciting. White Fang goes to an Indian village and makes an Indian friend named Gray Beaver. Then he gets in a fight with Indian dogs that are nasty. Does he win or does he lose? Read the book to find out.

I recommend this book for anyone that likes wolves. It might be easy getting into this book, but it might be hard to get out of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent read November 26, 2012
By mwem
Format:Paperback
This book is perfect for anybody who is fascinated by the Klondike, the outdoors, or the psychology of behavior. This extremely well written book goes into the depths of the mysteries of the unknown from an animal's perspective, and dives into how behavior and environments can mold someone. You'll find that this book is extremely hard to put down. This book is a great read, 4 stars.
