| 內容簡介： |
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最终到来，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，最终她决定留在荒原，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。

Her inspiration for the Newbery Medal-winning Julie of the
Wolves evolved from two specific events during a summer she spent
studying wolves and tundra at the Arctic Research Laboratory of
Barrow, Alaska: "One was a small girl walking the vast ad lonesome
tundra outside of Barrow; the other was a magnificent alpha male
wolf, leader of a pack in Denali National Park ... They haunted me
for a year or more, as did the words of one of the scientists at
the lab: ''If there ever was any doubt in my mind that a man could
live with the wolves, it is gone now. The wolves are truly
gentlemen, highly social and affectionate.''"
The mother of three children, Jean George is a grandmother who
has joyfully red to her grandchildren since they were born. Over
the years Jean George has kept 173 pets, not including dogs and
cats, in her home in Chappaqua, New York. "Most of these wild
animals depart in autumn, when the sun changes their behavior and
they feel the urge to migrate or go off alone. While they are with
us, however, they become characters in my books, articles, and
stories."
