Bought at Goodwill to release in the wild.
Sending to 1lilbookworm in Canada as a "Welcome to BookCrossing" RABCK. Enjoy!
I can't wait to read this book, as my spirit (shaman) animal is the Wolf, so the book will have special personal significance to me in that respect.
Thank you very much for the welcoming RABCK , grubsnerg.
and also thank you for the postcard and labels; what a pleasant surprise . :-)
(everyone here is so wonderful )
p.s. I loved the different stamps - am going to keep those as well, as I like to collect unsual looking stamps. I especially loved the Mickey one.
Miyax, like many adolescents, is torn. But unlike most, her choices may determine whether she lives or dies. At 13, an orphan, and unhappily married, Miyax runs away from her husband's parents' home, hoping to reach San Francisco and her pen pal. But she becomes lost in the vast Alaskan tundra, with no food, no shelter, and no idea which is the way to safety. Now, more than ever, she must look hard at who she really is. Is she Miyax, Eskimo girl of the old ways? Or is she Julie (her "gussak"-white people-name), the modernized teenager who must mock the traditional customs? And when a pack of wolves begins to accept her into their community, Miyax must learn to think like a wolf as well. If she trusts her Eskimo instincts, will she stand a chance of surviving? John Schoenherr's line drawings suggest rather than tell about the compelling experiences of a girl searching for answers in a bleak landscape that at first glance would seem to hold nothing. Fans of Jean Craighead George's stunning, Newberry Medal-winning coming-of-age story won't want to miss Julie (1994) and Julie's Wolf Pack (1998). (Ages 10 and older) --Emilie Coulter

This was a nice little story ;
I think it was more geared and intended toward young adults , but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
