Julie of the Wolves
Overview & Summary
Miyax, a young Inuit girl also known as Julie, becomes lost on the Alaskan tundra while running away from an unwanted arranged marriage, and survives by gradually earning the trust and protection of a wolf pack, learning to communicate with them through careful observation of their behavior. Jean Craighead George's Newbery Medal-winning novel is a survival story that is also a meditation on the clash between traditional Inuit life and encroaching modernity.
