I just worked on an English project on this entire book, lucky flippin' you.
It would be the third one. (But in spite of this great love....)
I hope this serves you well! The book was pretty boring, and a bit challenging, so I hope you did good with it! If you need any help with the book, just look up Call of The Wild on Google, and click SparkNotes. They helped me a lot, especially when working on the essay portion.
