I find this story to be quite powerful and the message of living in balance with nature is quite a powerful theme and call. It took me a while to read this and it had little to do with the story and mostly to do with time. Life in the wilderness is a struggle, but when she finds her way back to civilization, Miyax is torn between her old and new lives.A reminder of what the world was like to live in Nature and with nature. Miyax tries to survive by copying the ways of a pack of wolves and soon grows to love her new wolf family. When her life in the village becomes dangerous, Miyax runs away, only to find herself lost in the Alaskan wilderness. To her small Eskimo village, she is known as Miyax to her friend in San Francisco, she is Julie.
The survival theme makes it a good pick for readers of other wilderness stories such as My Side of the Mountain, Hatchet, or Island of the Blue Dolphins.
