Sinossi
Julie è una ragazza eschimese di tredici anni. Sposata giovanissima con un estraneo che la terrorizza, decide di fuggire. Il suo sogno è raggiungere San Francisco, dove abita Amy, la sua amica di penna, e vedere finalmente la televisione, le macchine sportive, i jeans, i bikini, gli hamburger e le altre meraviglie di cui l’amica le parla nelle sue lettere. Comincia così il suo viaggio attraverso la tundra, proprio mentre l’inverno sta per arrivare...
Persa in quel freddo deserto, la giovane si affiderà alla protezione dei lupi, grandi fratelli buoni dei quali ha imparato le abitudini e il linguaggio; ma neppure le immense distese artiche potranno mettere al riparo lei e i suoi amici dalla crudeltà dei bianchi, e presto la ragazza-lupo si troverà a scegliere tra il vecchio e il nuovo mondo…
Un grande romanzo di formazione, un’avventura straordinaria, epica e travolgente dall’autrice che ha formato l’immaginario di milioni di giovani americani.

This book won the Newbery award in 1973. It is really excellent and quite an amazing story! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Because my husband LOVES Alaska so much, he also read it. Well, I love Alaska too!! We would go back there in 2 split seconds if our children weren't here instead of there. ALSO this
The author spent a summer watching and studying the behaviors of a wolf pack in Denali. She had seen a young woman walking the tundra alone. The story is inspired. Julie of the Wolves is a story about Miyak's journey from leaving a frightening situation behind at a very young age, to find her way, to Leggi tutto
I decided it best to reacquaint myself with this story since it had been such a long time between my original read and this review and let me just say what a difference time has had with this one. My memories were of this little girl who happened to make friends with a pack of wolves while traveling Leggi tutto
I read this book as a kid. I have to confess I recalled none of the details of it. This was cool going back as an audiobook and I was delighted to see this is actually a trilogy. I'd only ever read the first book. This was an engaging tale of a young girl who is trying to escape a situation she does Leggi tutto
