Summary: Some of the greatest books.. ever!!!!!!!
Review: I bought this pack of books, and I think these are some of the greatest books I've ever read. I've read too many... and none are the best, but these are some of my favorites! Julie Edwards/Miyax Kapugen is stuck on the tundra. She learns by watching a pack of wolves the language of them. She becomes a member of the pack, led by Amoroq. They give her food and she travels with them. She becomes friends with Amoroq's pup, Kapu, and when he is the new Alpha, Julie helps the pack stay strong throughout all three books (Julie of the Wolves, Julie, and Julie's Wolf Pack). I highly recommend this to anyone that respects animals and nature. We should all appreciate them!

Review: I have read Julie of the Wolves and Julie. I am right now in the middle of Julie's Wolves. Julie of the Wolves quickly became my fave book. Julie as soon as I read it I went to the Library and checked it out again. I am sure Julie's Wolves will quickly become a must have book for me.Congrates to Jean Craigehead Goerge. I think that she has shown a great amount of inspiration in her books.

Summary: Three of Jean Craighead George's finest books--together!
Review: Perhaps the best Jean Craighead George book and wolf story for children ever written, the truly magnificent JULIE OF THE WOLVES is now available with its spellbinding sequels, JULIE and JULIE'S WOLF PACK, in this beautiful boxed set. A naturalist and author of over eighty books about wildlife for young readers, Jean Craighead George wrote JULIE OF THE WOLVES in the middle of her writing career and was rightfully given a Newbery Medal for it. It's the unforgettable story of one girl's unbreakable relationship with her animal companions, and should be read for generations. Miyax Kapugen runs away from an arranged marriage, only to become lost and starving on the tundra of Alaska's North Slope. However, she soon befriends a group of wolves, and, by learning their language and social behavior, she becomes one of the pack. This is a truly stunning book; every sentence is a work of art, carefully laden with details about animal behavior, Inupiat/Yupik Eskimo culture, and Arctic wildlife. In the second book, the Eskimo girl (no longer Miyax, but Julie) has returned to civilization, to the father she thought was gone and to a pregnant white stepmother. However, the bond she has formed with her wolves is one that will never be severed. Julie is confused and disappointed to find that her father, Kapugen, has changed a great deal. He now owns a musk-ox herd and his top prioraty is not to honor and love all living things, as it once was, but only to guard the herd. Julie fears that the wolves, who prey upon musk-oxen, are in danger, and, determined to keep them safe, she returns to her second family--but only for a short time. JULIE is no less interesting than its predecessor, and has a great deal to offer. However, I must say that my love of wolves makes the third book, JULIE'S WOLF PACK, my favorite in the series. This is truly remarkable, for it is different from any nonfiction book about wolves in that it goes straight to the core of lupine existence, bringing to life how these highly social animals communicate, hunt, and survive. Kapu, the young wolf pup Julie befriended in the first book and the son of the great leader Amaroq, has taken his father's role as alpha and faces many challenges during his reign. Over the course of several years, the book covers the birth of wolf pups, the threat of disease and starvation, and the endless struggle to survive in this harsh wilderness. The result is very dramatic, and once again every word is beautiful and important. Any wolf lover will add this and all three books to her favorites list, and any newcomer to the world of these fascinating creatures will want to learn more about them and, hopefully, want to protect this threatened species. However, anyone who is really devoted to these books will want to be wary about NUTIK THE WOLF PUP, a picture book that follows the story of Nutik, who was raised by Julie's little brother in JULIE'S WOLF PACK. It lacks the beauty and drama of the other books, even though it is nice in that it teaches young children to appreciate wolves rather than falsely despise or fear them. The three paperback chapter books are together in a fine case with art by Wendell Minor, who illustrated the last two books with stunning black-and-white drawings, and I hope to keep the set until I can share Julie's and Kapu's splendid story with my own children someday.
