Books with author James Oliver,

If you like the works of Jack London (such as "Call of the Wild") you will like this book. Set in the unspoiled wilderness of Canada, Curwood's book is a story of adventure and danger, friendship and mutual trust. Written in the early 1900's it is suitable for preteens and teenagers. James Curwood's description of the struggle for life in the Canadian wilderness at the turn of the century is refreshing and well written. Survival, exploration, and discovery thread through the harsh but beautiful environment which the author describes. If you are looking for a great adventure, read "The Wolf Hunters."
