julie of the wolves was one of my favorite books growing up. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I rented it from the library and loved it so much that I bought it! Since then, I have revisted the North Slope of Alaska many times. I love this book and I am excited to share it with someone.

Justifiably won the Newbery Medal in 1973. Author George has a deep understanding of the human condition, and writes in a very interesting way. Miyax, the Eskimo heroine will resonate with all girls.

from cover:
Miyax 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 pact of Arctic wolves, and she comes to love them as if 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.
