Julie of the Wolves: 1 - Softcover
Synopsis
Lost on the Tundra.
To her small Eskimo village, she is known as Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie. When the village is not longer safe for her, Miyax runs away. But she soon finds herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness, without food, without even a compass to guide her.
Slowly she is accepted by a pack of Arctic wolves, and she grows to love them as though they were family. With their help, and drawing on her father's teachings, Miyax struggles day by day to survive. But the time comes when she must leave the wilderness and choose between the old ways and the new. Which will she choose? For she is Miyax of the Eskimos - but Julie of the Wolves.

Review
"The whole book has a rare, intense reality which the artist enhances beautifully with animated drawings."--The Horn Book
"It is a book anyone who loves the outdoors will find hard to forget."--Boston Globe
"[Jean Craighead George's] novel is packed with expert wolf lore, its narrative beautifully conveying the sweeping vastness of tundra as well as many other aspects of the Arctic, ancient and modern, animal and human. It is refreshing to see the Arctic well portrayed through a woman's eyes."--New York Times
"Similar to Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, Julie of the Wolves is a story about survival." (from the article "15 Banned Books Every Tween and Teen Should Read")--Brightly
"The evocatively written, empathetic story effectively evokes the nature of wolves and dramatizes how the traditional Eskimo way of life is giving way before the relentless onslaught of civilization."--ALA Booklist
★ "Jean George has captured the subtle nuances of Eskimo life, animal habits, the pain of growing up, and combines these elements into a thrilling adventure which is, at the same time, a poignant love story."--School Library Journal (starred review)
★ "[Julie's] patient, intelligent courting of the animals and her resourcefulness in keeping herself alive are meticulously observed."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
