Book Description:
Julie's decision to return home to her people is not an easy one. But after many months in the wilderness, living in harmony with the wolves that saved her life, she knows the time has come.
Julie is not prepared, however, for all the changes that she finds. Her father has forsaken many of the old Eskimo traditions. He has given up his sled dogs for a snowmobile, and now looks after the musk oxen that serve as the village's income. He will do anything to protect them -- even shoot any wolves that might threaten the herd. Julie knows that, like her father, she must find a way to reconcile the old ways with the new. But how can she do that without putting her beloved wolves in danger?"This sequel to 1973 Newbery Medal-winning Julie of the Wolves continues the story of Julie Edwards Miyax Kapugen. Miyax is now living in Kangik village with her father, Kapugen. The one shadow that looms over Miyax is her knowledge that Kapugen will shoot more of her beloved wolves if they threaten the herd that he is raising as part of the village's industry. Their fate depends on whether or not Miyax can prove to her father what he once knew but seems to have forgotten: that Eskimos and animals must coexist as friends."K.

George continues the story begun in Newbery-award winning Julie of the Wolves with the young woman's return to her father's home in Kangik, Alaska. As she becomes reaquainted with Kapugen, she tries to accept the fact that he killed her beloved wolf Amaroq. She must also come to terms with her father's abandonment of some traditional Eskimo ways in order to help the local population survive, his new wife (a white woman), and a new romantic interest of her own. Julie is no longer a loner; she, too, learns about being a part of a community, one that is struggling to exist in a difficult and changing environment. But she also vows to protect the surviving wolves and move them to a place where they will not threaten her father's herd of musk-oxen.

This is a must-read series, starting with Julie of the Wolves. It's great for any wolf and fiction fans like me. I've already recommended it to many people. You can't put it down!!!!!!!
our 12 year old son read this book, as well as Julie of the Wolves, and loved both books.
Just when you think Julie's story can't get any better! This sequel is a wonderful addition to Julie of the wolves.
Fabulous story of an Eskimo girl's adventures as she matures. Second in a trilogy that starts with Julie of the Wolves.
Outstanding. It is probably aimed at an audience of teenagers - I read it for the first time when I was thirteen. I reread it with my daughter last year and found it as compelling as I had when I was a teenager myself. If you liked "My Side of The Mountain" you will enjoy this too.
I haven't read this book in years but I remember how much I loved it. I just recently bought the trilogy in hardcover so I dont need this paperback copy any more! Make sure you read Julie of the Wolves first. Here is a brief summary of Julie:
Julie decides to return home to her people after living for months with the wolves in harmony. When Julie goes home, however, she find that there are many changes. Her father has forsaken the Eskimo traditions and now looks after the musk oxen that serve as the villages income. He will do anything to protect them, even shoot wolves. Julie must find a way to reconcile the old ways with the new without putting her beloved wolves in danger.
