In this thrilling adventure about the wolf pack that saved the life of a young girl when she was lost on the tundra, Julie has returned to her family, but her wolf pack has a story all its own.

He must protect his wolves from the threats of famine and disease and, at the same time, defend himself from bitter rivals, both inside and outside the pack, who are waiting for their chance to overthrow him. The strength of Kapu's leadership will determine not just the well-being of the pack but its very survival.

    After "Julie of the Wolves" and "Julie," in both of which the protagonist was (obviously) Julie, "Julie's Wolf Pack" makes an unusual ending to the trilogy, since the protagonist is not Julie, but the wolf pack which she became a part of in the first volume. I enjoyed it, but not in the same way as the first two books, nor indeed, as much. Since the story is about wolves instead of humans, plot is thin. Mainly, we just observe a few years in the life of an Arctic wolf pack, without a distinct beginning or end. If you like nature books that tell animal's stories realistically, then this is for you. But if you're seeking a plot focusing on human stories and emotions, then just skip this one.

    5/5
    What ages would I recommend it too? Eight and up.

    Length? Two evenings.

    Characters? Memorable, several characters.

    Setting? Real world, Alaskan tundra.

    Written approximately? 1997.

    Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? Ready to read more.

    Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Approximate date for story.

    Short storyline: a few years in the lives of a wolf pack.

    Notes for the reader: A great story. Written in the style of classics. The narrator has no problem jumping from the mind of a wolf to the mind of the people in or around the wolves. As a reader, there were very few confused spots. Though, I can picture many modern writers complaining about head hopping. Especially between species.

    It was a very good book but also very confusing in some spots. It really kept me guessing too. I would recommend it but only if they have read the first book.

    I wasn't sure I'd like a book that was mostly about wolves, but I found myself very interested in the wolf life described in this book. Julie's story is not a very big part of the novel, but there is enough to satisfy that curiosity to know "what happened next?" After reading this novel, I wondered how accurate the depictions of wolf behavior are. I liked that the packs are like family, but I wondered if they were portrayed more like humans than they are, or maybe not? Very enjoyable.

    I read this book the first time, I believe, my fifth year of grade school, and now though I am graduating highschool it still belongs on my top shelf. Both Julie's Wolf Pack and it's prequel, Julie of the Wolves have been written in a descriptive, caring, unique style that haven't been matched in any literature I've read sense. The devotion and understanding Mrs. George has for wolves shines through in her work; after finishing this novel (before I knew it was a trilogy), I started to become interested in wolves, and that passion has grown into an obsession over the past ten years. I will be studying Zoology as my major in college next year, and I base the fondation of my love for Canis lupus on this single novel. Thank you, Mrs. George, thank you.
