Jean Craighead George - Julie of the Wolves: Literature Guide
 
   

Product Description

 
A story of adventure and survival, JULIE OF THE WOLVES takes readers into the life of a 13-year-old Eskimo girl named Miyax. Having run away from a disastrous arranged marriage, Miyax sets out across the Alaskan tundra and heads for the seaport of Point Hope where she plans to find work on a ship sailing to San Francisco. Once in San Francisco, Miyax hopes to track down her pen pal, a teenage girl named Amy who refers to Miyax as Julie. However, Miyax's plans do not work out as she had hoped, and she is soon lost and stranded on the Alaskan tundra without food or a compass. Desperate and starving, Miyax realizes that her only hope lies with a nearby wolf pack, but how will she communicate her need for help to them? As Miyax struggles to survive, she begins to question where her future lies--in San Francisco, back home with her family, or with the wolves who have finally accepted her as one of their own? Illustrated with occasional B&W paintings, JULIE OF THE WOLVES is the winner of the 1973 Newbery Medal.

Date of Review:  Sep 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: I really found Julie/Miyax creative, resourceful, and wise and this was not only a really good coming-of-age story, but also a terrific survivor story.
Review: Books challenged by parents or organizations often surprise well-read adults and in reviewing the lists this year I looked deeper. Why is always one of the biggest questions when you notice a book you've shared in numerous classes. One such book has...

Best thing I ever did that involved reading besides learning how. A while back, I was looking for a good book to read, and one of my friends recommend Julie of the Wolves. Of course it's a young reader's book. (But I'm kind...

  Miyax pushed back the hood of her sealskin parka and looked at the Arctic sun. It was a yellow disc in a lime-green sky, the colors of six o'clock in the evening and the time when the wolves awoke.
