Summary: Julie of the Wolves
Review: The book I read was Julie of the Wolves. The author Jean Craighead George gave this book a lot of scary parts. It was a good story but I think she should have made it more exciting. There was a part of the story when she ran away from her husband because she didn't love him. Then she was on her own. If you want to know the end you should read it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Julie of the Wolves
Review: Julie of the Wolves is about a thirteen-year-old Eskimo girl named Miyax who gets lost on the Alaskan Tundra. She was running away from her dire husband, Daniel, and trying to get to Point Hope. The book is divided into three sections: Amaroq, the wolf, Miyax, the girl, and Kapugen, the hunter.
In the first section, instead of a human taking care of animals, the wolves are taking care of Miyax. When she is starving on the Tundra, the leader of the pack, Amaroq, slowly accepts her as one of the wolves and treats her as such by feeding her, and by keeping her company.
The second section talks about Miyax's father, Kapugen, presumed dead in the beginning. He raised her to be an old-fashioned Eskimo instead of a contemporary one.
Finally in the third section, hunters in an airplane shoot down the wolf Amaroq for no reason. Hunters usually kill wolves for their ears but the hunters in this case killed him for fun. After she saves Kapu, another wolf, she travels to Point Hope, only to find her father alive. He is no longer an old fashioned Eskimo, but has married a white woman, owns an airplane, and flies hunters. Miyax almost runs away again, but then realizes that the day of the Eskimo is gone and "...points her toes toward Kapugen."
I think that everybody changes over time, and the old ways can't always be kept. Miyax successfully became an old fashioned Eskimo, but at the end of her journey she had to become Julie of the town.

Summary: Julie of the Wolves- A real winner!!!!!!
Review: Wow! What a captivating book Julie of the Wolves was! I had my doubts at first though. It seemed as though in the first 50 pages of the book nothing happened. It almost got so boring I was ready to throw it down(that's why I gave it 4 stars), but I'm so glad I didn't! Jean George constructed a story that keeps your attention and displays impotant values and morals. It gives you a sense of understanding between the human qualties and animals. The read also gives you the inspiration of a young girl having the will to survive in the Arctic tundra. These morals remind you of the basic human structure of pesonality and spirit. If you are looking for a book to lift you off your feet away from the daily grind, this is a winner!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Julie of the Wolves Review
Review: This is an interesting book, but it has confusing flashbacks. It's an adventure, though the parts about talking to wolves are true. For instance, in wolf language, flattening your ears and gritting your teeth means "lay down." Her wolves inspire her, and me, greatly, and will inspire you, too. So what are you waiting for??!!
