![]() ![]() I liked how we had a behind the scenes view of Julie’s struggle about wanting an education but not at the risk of losing her wolf pack. Furthermore, it can’t have been easy to see all the changes since he’s been gone he flies planes, has traded his dogsled for a snowmobile, and abandoned his hunting for raising musk oxen for the village. It can’t have been easy for Julie to return to her father and his new wife. I loved how Craighead George explored change. Her quest in this book is to get her father to realize that the Eskimo (Inuit) and the villagers can co-exist. Her dad has been raising musk oxen and wolves are a major threat to his livelihood, so he sees them through a different lens than Miyax. She has learned to love her stepmom and forgive her dad, although she doesn’t fully understand what drove her dad to kill Amaroq, one of her beloved wolves. ![]() Miyax is now 15 and living with her father and his white wife in Kangik village. We are cruising along the Inside Passage on our way to Alaska and I’ve just finished the 1994 sequel to the 1973 Julie of the Wolves, simply titled ‘Julie.’ ![]()
