The evocatively written, empathetic story effectively evokes the nature of wolves and dramatizes how the traditional Eskimo way of life is giving way before the relentless onlaught of civilization., [Jean Craighead George's] novel is packed with expert wolf lore, its narrative beautifully conveying the sweeping vastness of tundra as well as many other aspects of the Arctic, ancient and modern, animal and human. It is refreshing to see the Arctic well portrayed through a woman's eyes., "Similar to Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, Julie of the Wolves is a story about survival." (from the article "15 Banned Books Every Tween and Teen Should Read"), Protected by a wolf pack while lost on the tundra, a 13-year-old Eskimo girl begins to appreciate her heritage and the oneness with nature that modern man is destroying. This 1973 Newbery Medal-winning book is compelling. . . . A thrilling adventure story., Jean George has captured the subtle nuances of Eskimo life, animal habits, the pain of growing up, and combines these elements into a thrilling adventure which is, at the same time, a poignant love story., The whole book has a rare, intense reality which the artist enhances beautifully with animated drawings.

    I have received this order a few days ago, well before the earliest promised delivery date. The item corresponds to the seller's description: it is in "like new" condition. The transaction was seamless.I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The only peculiar aspect is that I wrote to the seller several times, both before and after ordering, and never received a response. This is at odds with all reviews of this seller.

    Excellent transaction. Fast delivery. Securely packaged in a poly-mailer for shipping. Good communications from the Seller. Very good price. Seller was very accurate in describing the condition of the book --very good-- in his listing.. I am picky about a book's condition, and I would rate the book as between "very good' and "like new." Very satisfied customer. ...Thank you!!

  • Julie of the Wolves trilogy

    I bought these books for one of our granddaughters. She loves dogs and I figured she would take an interest in the stories told. We happened to see the same books while traveling through Alaska and had never seen them before.
