    [synopsis] => From the same series that produced the classic and beloved novel, Call of the Wild, Jack London's Jerry of the Islands accompanies the other Jack London stories that portray dog protagonists. Born on the Santa Isabelle Island, Jerry, an Irish terrier, belongs to a slave owner named Mr. Haggin. On the plantation, Jerry is responsible for chasing the slaves, as ordered by Mr. Haggin. He is content on the plantation, but when Captain Van Horn comes into town, Mr. Haggin gives Jerry to him to accompany him on his ship. Especially fond of Captain Van Horn, Jerry is happy to join the sailing endeavor. However, when the ship is attacked, tragedy strikes, and Jerry is thrown into the sea. After being saved, by a native boy and brought to a village, Jerry recovers from the attack and begins a new life there. When the village chief takes a special interest in him, Jerry is given a special status, protecting him from harm. But, when Agno, a local sorcerer, reveals his gruesome plans for Jerry, his new home is threatened once again. Facing high stakes of sacrifice and losing a home, Jerry must fight for his safety to survive on the Solomon Islands.

With a setting inspired by Jack London's own travels, Jerry of the Islands employs rich description that allows readers to feel as if they are a part of the story. With the unique dog protagonist, Jerry of the Islands is charming and offbeat, providing a fresh and interesting perspective on the colonial south Pacific. Through the observations and thoughts of a dog with many owners, London's novel convincingly portrays the projected racism that is able to be trained into pets. Under a new and modern cultural lens, readers are able to recognize these inadvertent themes and compare them to contemporary society.
