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.

I think it was so great.

4 stars.
