THE ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS
                       by Scott O’Dell




 A story of survival, based upon the true story of a girl who was left upon
  an island near the coast of Southern California. She lived there for 18
  years, alone. While she waited for rescue, she kept herself alive by
  building shelter, finding food, and fighting her enemies--the wild dogs.
HATCHET
                                   by Gary Paulson
           Thirteen-year-old Brian Robeson is on his way to visit
            his father when the single-engine plane in which he is
            flying crashes. Suddenly, Brian finds himself alone in
            the Canadian wilderness with nothing but a tattered
            Windbreaker and the hatchet his mother gave him as a
            present -- and the dreadful secret that has been tearing
            him apart since his parent's divorce. But now Brian has
            no time for anger, self pity, or despair -- it will take all
            his know-how and determination, and more courage
            than he knew he possessed, to survive.
THE CAY
                                          by Theodore Taylor

  Phillip is excited when the Germans invade the small island of Curaçao.
   War has always been a game to him, and he’s eager to glimpse it
   firsthand–until the freighter he and his mother are traveling to the United
   States on is torpedoed.

   When Phillip comes to, he is on a small raft in the middle of the sea.
   Besides a cat, his only companion is an old West Indian, Timothy. The
   story follows the three as they must learn to survive on the barren island
   in the Caribbean Sea.
JULIE OF THE WOLVES
                                  by Jean Craighead George

 To her small Eskimo village, she is known as
  Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is
  Julie. When the village is no longer safe for
  her, Miyax runs away. But she soon finds
  herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness, without
  food, without even a compass to guide her.
 Slowly she is accepted by a pack of Arctic
  wolves, Mid she grows to love them as though
  they were family. With their help, and drawing
  on her father's teachings, Miyax struggles day
  by clay to survive. But the time comes when
  she must leave the wilderness and choose
  between the old ways an(] the new. Which will
  she choose? For she is Miyax of the Eskimos--
  but Julie of the Wolves.
THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
                    by Sheila Burnford




 Instinct told them that the way home lay to the west. And so the doughty
  young Labrador retriever, the roguish bull terrier and the indomitable
  Siamese set out through the Canadian wilderness. Separately, they would
  soon have died. But, together, the three house pets faced starvation,
  exposure, and wild forest animals to make their way home to the family
  they love. is one of the great children's stories of all time--and has been
  popular ever since its debut in 1961.
CALL OF THE WILD
                       by Jack London



                A classic novel of adventure, drawn from
                 London's own experiences as a Klondike
                 adventurer, relating the story of a heroic dog,
                 who, caught in the brutal life of the Alaska Gold
                 Rush, ultimately faces a choice between living in
                 man's world and returning to nature.
WHITE FANG
                                          by Jack London

 Born in the wilds of the freezing Yukon, the wolf-cub White Fang soon
  learns the harsh laws of nature, growing fiercer and more independent in
  his struggle to survive. Yet buried deep inside him are distant memories of
  affection and love - can he learn to trust man again?
