So you can’t think of anything good to read? Well, you have come to the right place! Here is a whole list of recommendations for you to choose from!
White Fang:
The story takes place in Yukon Territory, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush and details White Fang’s journey to domestication. Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans.
Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home:
When you’re racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that’s exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one afternoon.
Hatchet:
The Newbery Honor-winning young-adult novel tells the story of Brian Robeson, a 13-year-old boy who is forced to survive in the wilderness after a plane crash strands him in the Northern Canadian wilderness.
Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod:
Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod–the eleven hundred and eighty mile sled-dog race through the Alaskan wilderness. For seventeen days, he and his team of dogs endured blinding wind, snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, hallucinations–and the relentless push to go on.
Where the Red Fern Grows:
Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two dogs. So when he’s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own—Old Dan and Little Ann—he’s ecstatic. It’s true that times are tough, but together they’ll roam the hills of the Ozarks.
My Side of The Mountain:
Perhaps one of the most in-depth outdoor books ever written, My Side of The Mountain tells the story of Sam Gribley, a 12-year-old boy who decides to leave the hustle and bustle of New York City behind to live off the land in the Catskill Mountains. A brilliantly written and rich text, My Side of The Mountain is a story of struggle and triumph in the outdoors as you follow along with Sam as he tries to survive.
