Julie Edwards or Miyax is a thirteen year old Eskimo that runs away and joins a pack of wolves. She gets close to the wolves and has a great experience with them. When it is time, she has to leave them. At the end she finds out her father is alive and lives happily ever after.
I loved the book because of the setting. The author makes me feel as if I am right there with her.
I honestly loved the book except when Kapu got a bad wound. My favorite character is either Miya (AKA Julie) or Kapu. It's weird when Julie found her father that she thought was dead to her.
Pick up a Newbery Review form from Ms. Goodnight-Click in the library or print one off from the library's wiki page (click on the yellow jacket below.) Make sure the book you are reviewing is a Newbery Medal or Honor Award book. Your review must include the title, the author's name, a short summary, your thoughts about the book, and a star rating (1 star = poor to 4 stars = great). Give the review to Ms. Goodnight-Click in the library for posting.
