  Amazon.com: Julie (Julie of the Wolves): Books: Jean Craighead George,Wendell Minor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Julie is no longer a loner; she, too, learns about being a part of a community, one that is struggling to exist in a difficult and changing environment.
Although there is purpose (nearing obsession) to Julie's actions, readers must pay attention to the frequent shifts in the location of the wolf pack and the all-important caribou, vital to both the survival of the wolves and the village.
As Julie seeks to move the pack leader, Kapu, and the other wolves closer to a food source, readers may sense some resemblance to the scenes of gaining trust in the earlier title and some may question Julie's interference with the natural order of things (an intervention she cannot possibly maintain).
