A review by oxnard_montalvo
Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George

3.0

Yet another book that involved a teenager removing themselves from society and living amongst the animals. This is clearly a favourite genre of mine. I should re-read the books from my childhood and see how they stand up to the passage of time. This one I read multiple times in quick succession. It struck a chord with me, but it always felt alien. Maybe because I had trouble picturing such an extreme environment, never having experienced true cold. It didn't quite maintain that air of truth that is so vital in a book like this. Everything seemed slightly removed and dream-like. Perhaps I couldn't entirely relate to the heroine. Perhaps I need to read it again.
