This one was all about the wolves, written from their perspective. Not really my kind of thing.

From the ages of 8-12 this was my favorite book. Some girls are horse girls, I was a wolf girl. I liked the rest of the series, but the dynamics of the pack and their personalities is what grabbed me. I'd love to go back and reread it again now as an adult.

Its been awhile since I've read this series. And for some reason, when going back, I decided to start with the 3rd book in the series. This may have affected my view on everything, but I think that this is a decent story overall, just not as good as some of the others.
Julie's Wolf Pack is just about that, a wolf pack that a young native woman named Julie had lived with for a time. After the death of their original Alpha, Kapu has taken over as leader of the pack. He is challenged at every turn though, by humans, other wolves, sickness, etc. But despite this life continues as best as it can. It celebrates new pups, triumph over death, a good kill. Everything that is good for a wolf pack is part of their life.
Since this book is about wolves I think it did a great job of describing wolf like. It ranges for alphas to the other pack leaders and each has their own place and personality within the pack. You can describe them in terms of people, but it doesn't really fit the wolves within this book.
The writing is for children, and as such, there really isn't anything offensive in the book. However, there are some scary parts when bad things happen to the wolves, and this may be a little much for some children. For other parts of the book, while I admire the writing I also get bored with it. It seems like it is very repetitive and while I enjoy wolf life, perhaps more detail could have been used to change it up a little bit.
Its a good series, and while this isn't the best of the series, it is still a good book for animals lovers. It can open up imagination in children and have them view wolves as an integral part of the world, and special in their own right.

20 years later, I still love this book. Is it perfect? No. Is it still my favorite of the series? No. Did it make me tear up when Silver died and when Kapu was trapped and taken away ? Yes. Did it make me want to live out on the tundra like it did when I was ten? For a moment, yes. 💙 🐺

I liked the character of Julie, but not as much as I loved the wolves, and this one was all about the wolves. =)
