Product Description:
To her small Eskimo village, she is known as Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie. When the village is no 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.\n\nSlowly she is accepted by a pack of Arctic wolves, Mid she grows to love them as though they were family. With their help, and drawing on her father's teachings, Miyax struggles day by clay to survive. But the time comes when she must leave the wilderness and choose between the old ways an(] the new. Which will she choose? For she is Miyax of the Eskimos--but Julie of the Wolves.\n\nFaced with the prospect of a disagreeable arranged marriage or a journey acoss the barren Alaskan tundra, 13-year-old Miyax chooses the tundra. She finds herself caught between the traditional Eskimo ways and the modern ways of the whites. Miyax, or Julie as her pen pal Amy calls her, sets out alone to visit Amy in San Francisco, a world far away from Eskimo culture and the frozen land of Alaska.\n\nDuring her long and arduous journey, Miyax comes to appreciate the value of her Eskimo heritage, learns about herself, and wins the friednship of a pack of wolves. After learning the language of the wolves and slowly earning their trust, Julie becomes a member of the pack.\n\nSince its first publication, Julie of The Wolves,winner of the 1973 Newbery Medal, has found its way into the hearts of millions of readers.
Amazon.com Review:
Miyax, like many adolescents, is torn. But unlike most, her choices may determine whether she lives or dies. At 13, an orphan, and unhappily married, Miyax runs away from her husband's parents' home, hoping to reach San Francisco and her pen pal. But she becomes lost in the vast Alaskan tundra, with no food, no shelter, and no idea which is the way to safety. Now, more than ever, she must look hard at who she really is. Is she Miyax, Eskimo girl of the old ways? Or is she Julie (her "gussak"-white people-name), the modernized teenager who must mock the traditional customs? And when a pack of wolves begins to accept her into their community, Miyax must learn to think like a wolf as well. If she trusts her Eskimo instincts, will she stand a chance of surviving? John Schoenherr's line drawings suggest rather than tell about the compelling experiences of a girl searching for answers in a bleak landscape that at first glance would seem to hold nothing. Fans of Jean Craighead George's stunning, Newberry Medal-winning coming-of-age story won't want to miss Julie (1994) and Julie's Wolf Pack (1998). (Ages 10 and older) --Emilie Coulter

You will enjoy Miyax' terrifying and trechorous journey in the Alaskan wilderness to survive.If your into survival or Human-animal bond books.
Amoroq the wolf is the leader of the wolf pack and kills Jello [another wolf] because he stole from Miyax.That was the best part because it's so descriptive and it feels like you're in the book.I couldn't stop reading it.
I would reccomend this book to anyone that will stick with the book because it starts out boring then goes into the best ... Read More

This book helped shape my abilty to find myself as a woman. Julie of the Wolves finds herself by not doing just what is required of her by tradition, but by examining her conscience and following her heart. I also learned to read wolf language and understand my dog better by how Julie communicates with the pack and comes to live with them. An excellent read.Wolves: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation

Thirteen-year-old Julie Edwards Miyax Kapugen finds herself torn between two cultures, and that is why she has two names. "Julie" is how her pen pal in San Francisco knows her, and "Julie" is a modern teenager who lives in a town and goes to school in English. "Miyax" is the daughter of Eskimo hunter Kapugen, who has spent much of her childhood with her widowed father living a traditional Inuit life. Marrying at thirteen is part of that life. Miyax takes it in stride as long as her husband's family ... Read More

This is an inappropriate book for young kids to read. I can't even guess at what age I would be "okay" with my children reading the rape of Julie by her husband! Thankfully I read that part before my child. If it made ME feel disgusting and repulsed, what would it have done to my 11 year old?!
The rape was the reason Julie ran away but it most certainly could have been written in a hundred other ways with a hundred other reasons for her leaving! Why this author chose to use this violent and filthy ... Read More

I enjoyed this book a lot. I currently have about three copies because every seems to think that since my name is Julie I have to read this. It is very enjoyable. I took away one star only because parts of it in the middle are a little boring. Otherwise it is amazing. The life of a wolf pack from a human. Myax is strong and brave, and she still manages to seem like a real teenager. Most of the secondary characters were well thought out as well. The wolves each had a different personality, they weren't all ... Read More
