Julie of the Wolves
Book 1 of the Julie of the Wolves series
176 pages · First published 1972
Thirteen-year-old Miyax, called Julie in English, runs away across the Alaskan tundra and becomes lost with little food or protection. Remembering what she has learned about wolves, she studies a nearby pack and gradually earns enough acceptance to use their behavior as a guide to survival. Her relationship with the wolves becomes inseparable from questions about her Iñupiaq heritage and the modern world pressing against it. Jean Craighead George’s Newbery Medal-winning novel combines wilderness survival and animal observation with a young girl’s struggle between cultural identities, though some elements reflect the era in which the book was written.
