She runs into a pack of wolves and rather than devouring her, she is adopted by them. The book deals with her struggle to learn how to communicate with wolves and her reasons for leaving.The first novel, Julie Of The Wolves was written by Jean Craighead George in 1972, and two sequels, Julie and Julie's Wolf Pack, followed. The first installment is often studied in classrooms and is also one of the most frequently banned books in classrooms due to its portrayal of death, rape, violence and menstruation.

Animal Talk: A more realistic version. Wolves don't communicate in words, but rather how we'd expect them to, with body language, touch and smells. Miyax spends a good third of the novel learning how to speak this new "language" and it's implied that other animals have their own set of signals like a flicking tail motion that shows that a ground squirrel is friendly.

Arranged Marriage: At thirteen, Miyax marries the son of her father's business partner to escape living with her well-meaning but no-nonsense aunt. The match had been set up for Julie at a young age, but the ultimate decision was up to her. Another character explains that marriages like Julie's are quite common in their town and until both spouses get a bit older they mostly live like brothers and sisters.

Aerith and Bob: The Inuit family Julie goes to live with in Barrow: Naka, his wife Nusan, and their son Daniel. Inuits are said to have two names, one English and one Inuit, but whatever Daniel's Inuit name is supposed to be, it's never revealed. Also the case with the wolf pack; we have names like Amaroq and Kapu, but there's also Silver, Nails, Jello, Sister, Zing, Zat, and Zit.
