Julie

BOOK NAME: Julie
AUTHOR: Jean Craighead George

Imagine visiting a modern Eskimo village. That’s exactly where Julie by Jean Craighead George takes you. This realistic fiction book is a sequel to Julie of the Wolves. Julie teaches you that if you are determined to achieve something you should never give up.

In Julie of the Wolves, Julie, a young Eskimo girl, survives the harsh winter on the tundra alone with help from a wolf pack. In Julie, she returns to her father, Kapugen, in Kangik, Alaska. Kapugen has given up Eskimo ways and has adapted to modern amenities. He has even married an American woman named Ellen. At first, Julie has a hard time adjusting to the new ways, but eventually feels happy as she learns to balance herself between the two traditions. However, problems arise when a wolf from the wolf pack Julie had befriended kills a musk ox which belongs to Kapugen. Kapugen wants to kill the wolves. But, Julie wants to save her wolves and sets out on the tundra to push them farther away from Kangik. Will the wolves stay away from the musk oxen? Will Kapugen’s desire to kill them lessen? Read the book to find out.

Julie is a book one would enjoy reading. I would suggest reading Julie of the Wolves first, so you can understand Julie better. The interaction between the wolves and Julie is described so thoroughly that communicating with animals seems simple. The details about the Eskimo village and the Eskimo ceremonies are very informative. Julie is truly a wonderful book!

jindo2108, I agree that the comments are slow! I guess that there is no explosive new subject to comment about. On another topic I cannot wait until Kane Chronicles book 2, Throne of Fire, and Son of Neptune, in the Heroes of Olympus comes out! Anyone else? . . .

escape2books-I’ve never heard of the Kate Chronicles. What are they about???????

Right now, I’m waiting for the new Warriors(I’m hooked even though I say I’m annoyed by their longness.)

I think I should just read it…………..

This book was soooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooow. It literlly took me 2 hours to get to the 30th page! And I am a fast reader! I could not bear this book. A read it in 6th grade because it sounded good but, it just incredibly bored me.

This was a good book there is actually a trilogy this is the secound of the the three julie of the wolves trilogy , Julie of the wolves, Julie, and Julies wolf pack i personaly think that the first was the best. But thats just my opinion.you can get it at most librarys its pretty popular or request it from another.
