Julie of the Wolves
By Jean Craighead George
Miyax is a young Eskimo girl who is sometimes called “Julie” by her friends and teachers. She goes through a lot of hardship in her childhood: first, her mother dies, then, her father disappears on a hunting trip. Miyax is left with no choice but to marry her betrothed when she is thirteen. At first, she is happy in her new life, but when her husband attacks her, she makes up her mind to flee. Out alone on the Alaskan tundra, Miyax loses her way, and food is running out. Will she be able to convince a powerful wolf pack to adopt her as one of their own, or will she starve alone in the frozen north? This is a wonderful adventure novel.
