Some people may argue that the plot is too simple, with too difficult phrasing, maybe how there are too many lessons, and not enough entertainment, and too many characters, but not all readers may think that. Call of the Wild is…

When someone loses themselves in the process, the journey becomes a dare that the wild is giving them. It is up to them to keep at it or let the wild take them away, and this is…
