He decides to run away, taking the dog and a shotgun, certain that they can make it on their own out on the prairie.In this story of adventure and survival, Erik learns about the challenges and satisfactions of living off the land, the power of family secrets, and the pain of losing what you love.

    Stewart was the Fire Captain's son and Stewart wanted nothing more than to become a junior fireman, a "fire boy." Finally the Captain agreed and Stewart had a bed right along with the regular firemen. 
    When the first alarm sounded Steward was so excited he forgot to put on his boots and all the firemen waited while Steward went back for his boots. Needless to say, this made them late to the fire and everyone was upset. The firemen began calling him "Scatter-Brain Stewart." This behavior continued until the firemen came up with a plan and the next time Stewart and the crew were the first ones to the fire. The Captain was very pleased. 
    But even the best plans are not always perfect. Scatter-Brain Stewart was not completely ready to help fight the fire!

    The Call of the Wild is a novel by Jack London published in 1903. The story is set in the Yukon during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush—a period in which strong sled dogs were in high demand. The novel's central character is a dog named Buck, a domesticated dog living at a ranch in the Santa Clara Valley of California as the story opens. Stolen from his home and sold into service as sled dog in Alaska, he reverts to a wild state. Buck is forced to fight in order to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. Eventually he sheds the veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild. The terrible, never relenting work of pulling sleds in sub-freezing temperatures combined with little food and rest quickly killed any dog not extremely tough. It almost kills Buck but his fierce determination to survive finally brings him through. London lived for most of a year in the Yukon collecting material for the book.

    On a beautiful island full of magical creatures, one bunny is destined for an impossible quest. The rare Seither water that provides magic to everyone has been stolen. To make matters worse, the loyal Spartans who were guarding the Seither have gone missing. Someone must find the missing force and the Spartan guards. 
    But who? Following an ancient prophecy, the Viking King Hareld gives the mission to the most reluctant hero: His nephew, Hoplite, the humble farmer. Assisted by a group of colorful, hilarious, and sometimes-dangerous allies, Hoplite must complete a journey across the kingdom to find the missing magical water and the Spartans before it's too late. 
    To succeed, Hoplite must lose everything-including his lonely, peaceful life as a lettuce farmer, and become something he never thought possible: a powerful Spartan. With mesmerizing details and unforgettable characters, The Battle Bunnies and the Unlikely Spartan is a rewarding first volume in the transcendent community-created fantasy series.
