If readers didn't care for this book, it's probably because they are too young to understand a lot of it, or they are too young to be patient enough to get to the end, or they have not learned to appreciate all that is in nature. But the ending is well worth the trip.

This book was so good ? I can't even begin to explain it to you. Basically, this is about a young Eskimo girl who was taught by her grandfather to respect "the old ways," but the modern world is fast approaching, and Julie does not always like the changes she sees in her village and her father. Then her father leaves, placing her in a "foster family" type of situation, and it's not a good one... When something shocking almost happens, Julie makes a decision that changes her life. She decides to flee and go to her father, but in order to get there, Julie must make it over the wintry tundra, empty of everything but snow and ice and wolves. She shows such a respect for the animals that should be her enemies, and to survive the winter joins the pack. She learns a great deal about the world and herself, as she braves what few people can't even imagine in the face of trials.

I honestly didn't like it toward the ending at first, and I cried - which broke the tension for my 5th graders, because they got to laugh as I cried. I was enjoying such a cool cry that one of my students had to finish the last chapter for me! THAT was pretty funny. And when I got to the end, I realized that sometimes when the world can't change for us, WE have to change for the world, and adapt. So I got along with the ending, after all.

The book really gave us a view of the world as an "ecosystem," and the behavior of the wolves was very realistic and awesome. Each wolf had its own personality and played a role within the pack. Our whole class really enjoyed this - even the kids who hate to read!

I am 8 years old and my Grandma read this with me on our Friday night sleepovers. Julie of the Wolves was very entertaining for me. I liked how it talked about wolves, they are my favorite animal. Julie of the Wolves is about a 13 year old Eskimo girl who ran away from home. She ran away from her husband and wanted to go to SanFrancisco. In the beginning of the book she watches a pack of wolves and names them. She watches how they talk to each other and learns to speak to them. They treat like a wolf pup and feed and protect her from danger.
I liked the book alot, it helped me learn about wolves and the Eskimo life. It has good moments and sad moments, and I felt like I was there with Julie. Come read this book, you won't want it to end.

"Julie of the Wolves" was a good book. It was because it tells you some things about wolves. And I think its good because she gets to be a member of the pack. Also another that is cool is that this girl learns to sort of talk to wolves. Read the next paragraph to read what the book is about.
Julie of the Wolves if about a girl who runs away and gets lost in the arctic. And the worst thing is she doesn't have any food to eat! But then she see's these wolves, and she keeps watching them trying to learn how to talk to them. Then she learns it and gets accepted into there pack. But will she survive and find here way home?

Julie of the Wolves was fantastic! It is one of my favourite books. I think this book should get not just the Newbery Medal but also all the medals in the world! It talks about an Eskimo girl who is known as Miyax to her people but known as Julie to a friend in San Francisco. Because she hates school, she decides to marry so she can escape school. Her husband is rotten to her and she escapes to the tundra. She gets lost and is accepted by a pack of wolves. In the end, Julie has to decide her lifestyle-to be Miyax of the Eskimos or be Julie of the Wolves.

Julie, known as Miyax in the old days who lives in Alaska with her father, Kapugen after her mother dies finds herself lost in the artic Tundra after running from her husband, Daniel, at only 13 being forced to merrr him. After being in the Tundra where the lakes and rivers are frozen, where the dirt is solidly frozen keeping trees and large plants from growing she finds a pack of wolves. Slowly the pack of wolves begin to exept her as they near summer where she can not find her way home. Her favorite wolf pup, Kupa, named after Kupugen grows larger and bolder as he grows into the pack leader, though still is a pup when the other leader dies. Finally, after almost a year she finds herself in a village after leaving the pack finds her lost father alive. I recommend this book to all readers who like adventure, nonfiction, folftail, or a mix of all of these, this book is a book is a book of wonderfull description and a story worth reading.

I thought Julie of the wolves was a good book because it had alot of details and interesting facts and a very interesting storyline. I thought the flash backs were not that interesting but the rest of the book was.

I thought it was a good book. But i thought the tundra explanation was very long.
