Alone and lost—on the North Slope of AlaskaMiyax rebels against a home situation she finds intolerable. She runs away toward San Francisco, toward her pen pal, who calls her Julie. But soon Miyax is lost in the Alaskan wilderness, without food, without even a compass. Slowly she is accepted by a pack of Arctic wolves, and she comes to love them as though they were her brothers. With their help, and drawing on her father’s training, she struggles day by day to survive. In the process, she is forced to rethink her past, and to define for herself the traditional riches of Eskimo life: intelligence, fearlessness, and love.

How I read this: free trial of ScribdI was absolutely in love with Julie of the Wolves I finished this story in an evening, and I was so sorry it ended so fast. This story is not only a celebration of the Inuit (Eskimo) culture, its also a lovesong to other, non-human cultures I mean animals. The story focuses on wolves and how they adopt a girl who has got lost in the tundra because she was running away from a dangerous situation at home. The love for nature, for the natural (even if harsh)A nice novel about the life of eskimos and wild animals, survival in the Alaskan wilderness, and the clash of the western way of life with primitive people.
3.5 starsIm glad that this is getting re-released, because I think that it deserves to find a new generation of fans. This book is very short (less than one hundred pages) and simply written, but I found it very affecting nonetheless. The story opens with the Eskimo girl Miyax lost, alone, and starving in the Alaskan wilderness. Her only hope of survival is the nearby wolf pack, and the long ago memory of a tale that her lost father told: of one hard winter when he appealed to a wolf leader for
A reminder of what the world was like to live in Nature and with nature.It took me a while to read this and it had little to do with the story and mostly to do with time. I'm so glad I finally read this story. I find this story to be quite powerful and the message of living in balance with nature is quite a powerful theme and call. Julie has knowledge of how to survive in the wilderness. That knowledge is so valuable. People should make money by letting people pay to come for a week or two and
I decided it best to reacquaint myself with this story since it had been such a long time between my original read and this review and let me just say what a difference time has had with this one. My memories were of this little girl who happened to make friends with a pack of wolves while traveling from point A to point B, which consisted of some mildly dangerous wilderness. WRONGOAdult me looks at this story now and sees sad. Buckets of it. From beginning to end there is just a whole hell of a
I have read several of Jean Craighead Georges books over the years and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Julie of the Wolves fits is exactly what I expect of JCG. There are striking parallels between this story and JCGs other very famous book My Side of the Mountain.Miyax (her American name is Julie, but she is almost always referred to as Miyax in the book) has run away from an child marriage and is trying to live off the land in Alaska using traditional Eskimo survival strategies. In the
Every writer should read this little Newberry winner.Why?I'm glad you asked, and I am so happy to answer.Every writer should read this little Newberry winner to learn. . . that a book with a fast-paced narrative that is "readable" may not only sell well, it may also win a prestigious book award! A book with horrible dialogue may still be read over and over again in classrooms everywhere, so, it turns out, you don't need to waste any further time on making dialogue authentic! Whew! What a relief!
