Julie of the Wolves, by Jean Craighead George

Julie of the Wolves (170 pages) is a 1972 novel by Jean Craighead George and winner of the Newberry Award. It is a tale told by a 13 year-old Eskimo girl named Julie Edwards Miyax Kapugen, a coming of age story that takes place primarily on the barren tundra of the Alaskan artic. It is my ten year-old’s book club selection for Monday night. It will be interesting to see how eight boys react.
