Query: Call of the Wild made kid-friendly

Want to wean kids off television with a great classic? For kids 9-12 this book should do the trick. Jack London's story of a family pet who becomes a sled dog in Alaska gets heavily edited and simplified by a very competent editor. An illustration on every other page keeps even the most reluctant young readers on track. I'm an elementary school librarian who is reading this book aloud with five classes of 5th and 6th grade students and they love it! (The only reason I didn't give this book a full five stars is that the longer, orginal version is still the best--if you are a more mature and patient reader.)
