Jean Craighead George\'s Newbery Medal-winning classic about an Eskimo girl lost on the Alaskan tundra now features bonus content.
Is she Miyax of the Eskimos--or Julie of the wolves?.
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.
Miyax tries to survive by copying the ways of a pack of Wolves and soon grows to love her new wolf family.
When her life in the village becomes dangerous, Miyax runs away, only to find herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness.
To her small Eskimo village, she is known as Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie.
The survival theme makes it a good pick for readers of other wilderness stories such as My Side of the Mountain, Hatchet, or Island of the Blue Dolphins.
Julie of the Wolves is a staple in the canon of children\'s literature and the first in the Julie trilogy.
This edition, perfect for classroom or home use, includes John Schoenherr\'s original scratchboard illustrations throughout, as well as extra 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.
