Books with title Julie and the Wolves

“Miyax had been lost without food for many sleeps on the North Slope of Alaska. The barren slope stretches for three hundred miles from the Brooks Range to the Arctic Ocean, and for more than eight hundred miles from the Chukchi to the Beaufort Sea. Winds scream across it, and the view in every direction is exactly the same. Somewhere in this cosmos was Miyax; and the very life in her body, its spark and warmth, depended upon these wolves for survival. And she was not so sure they would help.” - from Julie of the Wolves. When Miyax walks out onto the frozen Alaskan tundra, she hopes she is leaving problems at home far behind. Raised in the ancient Eskimo ways, Miyax knows how to take care of herself. But as bitter Arctic winds efface the surface of food, she begins to fear for her life, and turns to a pack of wild wolves for help. Amaroq, the leader of the pack, eventually accepts Miyax as one of his own defenseless cubs, protecting her from danger and saving portions of the daily kill for her. But as Miyax makes her way nearer to civilization, her life with the wolves, as well as all that she has come to learn about herself, are challenged as never before.

A Tale of Magic and ThanksgivingWhen a mirror appears in Jala's room and transports her to the world of wolves -- the fact that she's become a wolf herself is only the beginning! Readers of classic fantasy like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Alice in Wonderland will adore this chapter book for young readers. Set during American Thanksgiving, the main character must use the gifts and advantages she has from living in a world of plenty to help others who are not as fortunate. The less fortunate creatures are wolves, but the lesson translates well, particularly wrapped in such a delightful little adventure. Buy a copy to share with the young people in your life. What Readers Are Saying: "A lovely and whimsical read for any little girl or grown woman like myself.""Dumas taps into a fantasy that I believe many children probably have (sometimes pretending that they're an animal, or in Jala's case, becoming that animal) and what they can learn from that fantasy. Jala learns more about herself, her family, and her world through her adventure as a wolf and that translates to an added layer of discussion that you could have with your child while reading this book. This would make a lovely addition to any child's ebook library.""Jala and the Wolves...reads like a Hindu fairytale with its quaint nature-filled charm and elegant magic. It reminds me of the books I read as a child - The Secret Garden and the like - and that makes it something I want to share with my daughter."

Julie/Miyax is an Eskimo girl torn between modern Alaska and the old Eskimo tradition. Left with her father, Kapugen, after losing her mother; Julie became intelligent, observant, and one with the Arctic tundra. Years later, her father went out on a seal hunt one day, only for bits of his boat to be found washed ashore and no sign of him. Miyax was sent to live with Aunt Martha, a distant and cold woman. She was told that at the age of 13, she could leave her Aunt's house if she wed a boy named Daniel; Miyax did just that. However, when she arrived, she realized that Daniel was feeble minded. Caught in an unbearable situation, she runs away, in hope of leaving to stay with her pen-pal in San Francisco, California. When Miyax ran away, she realized she would need to find a way to maintain good health. She learned how to communicate with the wolves to receive food, water, and family: all the necessities. However, when a chance to return to modern Eskimo society appears, she is torn. Will she be Miyax of the Eskimos, or Julie of the wolves?
