I have only read the first book. I liked the idea and characters, but some parts were a bit boring, and the book is very depressing. Several characters die. I read this for a book club. If I did not have to finish it, I probably would not have. However, I don't think you should judge the author based off of this book. I am reading her My Side of the Mountain book, and it is really good so far. I do not plan on reading the other books, but I may research how the trilogy ends.

This is a wonderful book about an Eskimo girl. She befriends a wolf pack by learning how they communicate, and they become her adopted family. She is trying to get to San Fransisco to meet her pen pal, but after she sees how they kill animals for fun, she doesn't want to be a part of it. She decides that she will live all by herself and be a traditional Eskimo, because that is what she believes. Throughout her adventures, you learn the true meaning of friendship. This was a wonderful read that has a very good message.

Lost on the Tundra. To her small Eskimo village, she is known as Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie. When the village is not longer safe for her, Miyax runs away. But she soon finds herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness, without food, without even a compass to guide her. Slowly she is accepted by a pack of Arctic wolves, and she grows to love them as though they were family. With their help, and drawing on her father's teachings, Miyax struggles day by day to survive. But the time comes when she must leave the wilderness and choose between the old ways and the new. Which will she choose? For she is Miyax of the Eskimos - but Julie of the Wolves. LoL

This book is about an Eskimo-American girl named Julie, or Miyax in Eskimo language. She one day found that her Eskimo village is too dangerous for her to live, so she sets of to Point Hope by her own, hoping to get a chance to go to San Francisco to find her pen pal, Amy. Later, she found herself living with a pack of wolves. Accepted by the leader, Amaroq, and befriended by pup named Kapu, she couldn't decide if she wanted to go back to the civilised places, where the people that kill her wolves live. It was a great book to read and I highly recommend it.

I love the author's perspective in this book. It is realistic fiction, based on a real nonfiction story of a young woman surviving on her own. So descriptive I could SEE everything she experienced.

I love realistic fiction, it makes me feel like it REALLY could happen. The author Jean adds great nonfiction details, so you really believe that Sam could survive on his own. I like that Sam gets help from the town librarian and from the old man. It makes sense that if you had help, and knowledge, you could survive in the wild. This book makes me want to live in a tree!
