媒体评论：
“很小的时候看过一个纪录片，是关于北极驯鹿迁徙的，成千上万的驯鹿在北极原本寂寥的冻原上如洪水般浩荡而过，那浩瀚的场景让幼小的我无比震惊。它们以执著得近似盲目的气势，翻越山岗、涉过河流、走过苔原，只为它们遵循千万年形成的本能，完成一年一度的迁徙。只有在那样的广袤荒野之中才能发生《狼群中的朱莉》这样的故事。那是真正的北方，北方极限之地。” ——动物小说作家 黑鹤

“在狼性与文明的搏杀中，这个故事绽放着异样的魅力。荒原、狼群、饥寒与融合编织在一起，虽然距离我们很遥远，却强力牵引着我们的关注，同时撕扯着我们的文化惯性。“ ——《语文报》小学版主编 闫银夫

Jean Craighead George’s Newbery Medal–winning classic about an Eskimo girl lost on the Alaskan tundra now features bonus content. This edition, perfect for classroom or home use, includes John Schoenherr’s original scratchboard illustrations throughout, as well as extra materials such as an introduction written by Jean Craighead George’s children, the author’s Newbery acceptance speech, selections from her field notebooks, a discussion guide, and a further reading guide.
Julie of the Wolves is a staple in the canon of children’s literature and the first in the Julie trilogy. The survival theme makes it a good pick for readers of other wilderness stories such as My Side of the Mountain, Hatchet, or Island of the Blue Dolphins.
To her small Eskimo village, she is known as Miyax; to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie. When her life in the village becomes dangerous, Miyax runs away, only to find herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness.
Miyax tries to survive by copying the ways of a pack of wolves and soon grows to love her new wolf family. Life in the wilderness is a struggle, but when she finds her way back to civilization, Miyax is torn between her old and new lives. Is she Miyax of the Eskimos—or Julie of the wolves?

Review
“The evocatively written, empathetic story effectively evokes the nature of wolves and dramatizes how the traditional Eskimo way of life is giving way before the relentless onslaught of civilization.”  — ALA Booklist

“The whole book has a rare, intense reality which the artist enhances beautifully with animated drawings.”  — The Horn Book

“It is a book anyone who loves the outdoors will find hard to forget.”  — Boston Globe

在爱斯基摩小山村中，她叫米娅克丝，而在笔友信中她叫朱莉。当小山村不再是她安全的庇护所，她决定逃跑。可是，她发现自己迷失在阿拉斯加茫茫的荒野中，没有食物，无处栖身，危机四伏。她有没有生存的机会？
一个北极狼群出现在她面前，是被狼群吃掉，还是被拯救？她有没有活下去的希望？她又该如何做？为了生存，她鲜活的灵魂、生命的火花，全都寄托在这些狼身上。她不能确定它们是否会帮忙，但她从没绝望。
借助父亲传授的有关狼的知识，经过耐心仔细的观察，她逐渐掌握了狼的特性和语言，慢慢地她被狼群所接受，成为狼群中的“异员”。在生死之间，彼此相互相依，女孩和狼群建立血浓于水的真挚感情。
当头狼被人类击杀，她勇敢救助受伤的小狼，引领狼群渡过难关；但是当回归人群的日子到来，她该如抉择？
在与笔友的书信来往中，米娅克丝深为现代生活所吸引，但是在阿拉斯加冰冻的土地上，在与狼群相依为命的漫长而艰难的旅途中，远离文明的她开始认识并感激自己的爱斯基摩文化价值——那就是相信大自然、依靠大自然。而那些来自文明世界的人类给狼群造成的伤害，使米娅克丝深刻反思，她决定留在荒原，去过爱斯基摩人那种素朴、宁静的生活，感受自然的生命脉搏，体验自然赐予人心灵上的那份祥和、充实。

MIYAX PUSHED BACK THE HOOD OF HER SEALSKIN parka and looked at the Arctic sun. It was a yellow disc in a lime-green sky, the colors of six o’clock in the evening and the time when the wolves awoke. Quietly she put down her cooking pot and crept to the top of a dome-shaped frost heave, one of the many earth buckles that rise and fall in the crackling cold of the Arctic winter. Lying on her stomach, she looked across a vast lawn of grass and moss and focused her attention on the wolves she had come upon two sleeps ago. They were wagging their tails as they awoke and saw each other.
Her hands trembled and her heartbeat quickened, for she was frightened, not so much of the wolves, who were shy and many harpoon-shots away, but because of her desperate predicament. Miyax was lost. She 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. No roads cross it; ponds and lakes freckle its immensity. 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.
Miyax stared hard at the regal black wolf, hoping to catch his eye. She must somehow tell him that she was starving and ask him for food. This could be done she knew, for her father, an Eskimo hunter, had done so. One year he had camped near a wolf den while on a hunt. When a month had passed and her father had seen no game, he told the leader of the wolves that he was hungry and needed food. The next night the wolf called him from far away and her father went to him and found a freshly killed caribou. Unfortunately, Miyax’s father never explained to her how he had told the wolf of his needs. And not long afterward he paddled his kayak into the Bering Sea to hunt for seal, and he never returned.
