Julie of the Wolves was about a young Eskimo girl named Julie. Her father had disappeared some time ago after going hunting and Julie is to be married to a boy named Daniel, against her will. At first, she didn’t care because most of her middle-school friends were married and they did not seem to care the least bit. But after meeting Daniel and living with him and his family, she realized that he is a little bit mentally ill.

So she found the courage to run away. But the wildness of Alaska is not as gentle as it seemed in her old home with her father. But just as she is about to despair and lose hope, she found a pack of wolves, or rather, a pack of wolves found her. At first, the wolves were shy as they had not been near or around humans before. But Julie soon gained their trust and they had a strong friendship.

After that she left the wolves and once again began on her quest to reach the arctic coast and catch a ride to San Francisco, where her pen pal Amy was eagerly awaiting her arrival, on the way she encountered a massive grizzly bear and attempted to shoo it away with her antler club, the attempt succeeded and the bear walked away. There were a few ups and downs in this story one of them being the fact that it was obsessed with food even though getting lost in the arctic is in some ways all about food, but this is a book making it boring as it continues to say things about mosses grasses scraps of meat…you name it!
