maliajackson 's review for:

Julie of the Wolves by John Schoenherr, Jean Craighead George
5.0

This is an incredible book. The surface narrative is great, because it's about a tough and smart girl doing it for herself on the tundra, man-v-nature style. Deeper than that, it's about just how difficult it is to get your identity, your occupation, and your sense of home to be in some balanced state that makes you happy. This, to me, is the huge struggle in adulthood and it is so heartwrenching in this book.
