About the Author:
Review:
Jean Craighead George wrote over one hundred books for children and young adults. Her novel Julie of the Wolves won the Newbery Medal in 1973, and she received a 1960 Newbery Honor for My Side of the Mountain. She continued to write acclaimed picture books that celebrate the natural world. Her other books with Wendell Minor include The Wolves Are Back; Luck; Everglades; Arctic Son; Morning, Noon, and Night; and Galapagos George.
"A compelling story about 13-year-old Julie Edward Miyax Kapugen, and Eskimo girl caught between the old ways and those of the whites, between childhood and womanhood. George has captured the subtle nuances of Eskimo life, animal habits, the pain og growing up, and combines these elements into a thrilling adventure which is, at the same time, a poignant love story.""
