Wolves' first summer blog! Which book first?

Hello Wolves!

Let's get started with reading! Don't forget the importance of reading!

You have three books to read this summer as a group:
-The Call of the Wild
-The Hound of the Baskervilles
-Robinson Crusoe

The Call of the Wild is about a dog named Buck that survives in Alaska during the Gold Rush in 1897. Do you like detective stories? Sherlock Holmes? Then we will have fun reading The Hound of the Baskervilles. A hound is a dog and the Baskervilles is a family that owns an estate (large house). Sherlock Holmes is called to help solve the mystery of hounds that haunt the Baskervilles! Did you like the movie Cast Away? Imagine being alone on an island for 24 years! In Robinson Crusoe, we will read about a man stranded (stuck) on an island, alone, for 24 long years.

Which book should we read first?? I vote we start with Robinson Crusoe. Put in your votes now so we can get started reading!
