Description
When Julie's father is drafted, Aunt Martha takes the motherless Julie into her home. Her father then disappears on a hunting trip, so she makes her home with Martha until she is thirteen and promised in marriage to an Eskimo boy. She realizes, however, that she is not prepared for marriage, and after her teenage husband, succumbing to peer pressure, threatens (and tries unsuccessfully) to force himself on her, she runs away to the tundra. (Please note that younger readers may find this scene disturbing.) As she adjusts to life in the frozen wilderness, she becomes dependent upon a pack of wolves for her survival. Confused because her world is changing and with it the customs of her people, Julie must choose between living in the past and facing the future. By Jean Craighead George; 170 pgs, pb. A Newbery Award winner.
Publisher's Description of Julie of the Wolves
The thrilling Newbery Medal–winning classic about a girl lost on the Alaskan tundra and how she survives with the help of a wolf pack.
Julie of the Wolves is a staple in the canon of children’s literature and the first in the Julie trilogy. The survival theme makes it a good pick for readers of wilderness adventures such as My Side of the Mountain, Hatchet, or Island of the Blue Dolphins.
This edition, perfect for classroom or home use, includes John Schoenherr’s original scratchboard illustrations throughout, as well as bonus materials such as an introduction written by Jean Craighead George’s children, the author’s Newbery acceptance speech, selections from her field notebooks, a discussion guide, and a further reading guide.
To her small village, she is known as Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie. When her life in the village becomes dangerous, Miyax runs away, only to find herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness.
Miyax tries to survive by copying the ways of a pack of wolves and soon grows to love her new wolf family. Life in the wilderness is a struggle, but when she finds her way back to civilization, Miyax is torn between her old and new lives. Is she the Miyax of her human village—or Julie of the wolves?
