Its been awhile since I've read this series. And for some reason, when going back, I decided to start with the 3rd book in the series. This may have affected my view on everything, but I think that this is a decent story overall, just not as good as some of the others.
Julie's Wolf Pack is just about that, a wolf pack that a young native woman named Julie had lived with for a time. After the death of their original Alpha, Kapu has taken over as leader of the pack. He is challenged at every turn t...more

I loved Julie of the wolves. I didn't know that there's a series of it. I found this one in an old bookstore and was very happy with it. I think the first book is much better than the third. Here, it's all about the wolves' world and point of view. There are tragedy and I was reminded once again that we, humans, are the most disastrous being that screw the balance of nature. I get a bit bored with the wolves' activity of getting round the border and breeding. Some minute fragments also turned me...more
I remembered loving the first two in this series growing up and never knew there had been a third. I read it this afternoon (quick read!) and I wasn't that impressed. I feel like I need to re-read the others to say for sure, but I thought that the others had been told more from Julie's perspective.
In this book, the story is much more focused (as the title would lead you to believe) on the characters of the wolves. The communication is exchanged via wolf-talk and Julie's role becomes more of an...more

A great conclusion, albeit bittersweet, to the series. As a teenager, I was a little heartbroken that the old leader (who was once only a pup in Julie's care) was forced out of the wolf pack with his mate, as his role was superceded by his son. Also, since Julie was occupied with her new husband, her concerns had changed from the wolves to him, so she didn't take as personal of an interest in the wolf pack. In a way, I suppose it probably had a greater impact on me because of my own position in...more
This final story in the Julie of the Wolves series is told from the perspective of the wolves. It was a lot more simplistic and at times felt long & tedious---not because of the story, but in how it was written. The story was very interesting, and I liked learning how the wolves think and act and understand their world through scent & sight. The story ended well, but I think I would have liked it better if it were told from Julie's perspective or to include both (alternating through the...more
In a balancing conclusion to the trilogy, this third book focuses on the wolves much more than on Julie, who appears only at key moments. The story is told from the wolves' perspective, extremely convincingly. To write from an animal's perspective runs the risk of anthropomorphizing the animal, but George really seems to avoid this. Nor does she sugar-coat the hardships of life in the Arctic: the wolves go through some hard times, and sometimes are touched by death. A fascinating listen on my co...more
It was very enjoyable to get the story of Julie's wolves from their own point of view. Wolves have always fascinated me; ask anyone who has seen all the wolf pictures I have hanging up in our family room. For someone looking for a wolf story aimed at a slightly older audience, I'd highly recommend "Promise of the Wolves," and "Secrets of the Wolves," by Dorothy Hearst.
Grade: A
Julie’s Wolf Pack is the third book in Jean Craighead George’s series. The book is filled with adventure, humor, treachery, and the values of family. While the first two books, Julie of the Wolves and Julie, are told from the perspective of Julie herself, this book tells the continuation of the story from the point of view of the wolves themselves. It takes place in the arctic tundras of Alaska, after Julie has decided to leave the pack and live with her human family, and tells about wha...more

This is another adventure of Julie and her wolf pack, but this time the story is from the perspective of the wolves. It was very interesting to look at the Alaskan tundra through the eyes of a wolf pack, how their family dynamics work, and to see how they interact with different packs and protect their boundaries. Good read!
I am thoroughly impressed by Jean Craighead George with this trilogy. This final piece is a marked departure from the series, the narrative following the wolf pack rather than the Inuit protagonist from the first book. Here, their roles are reversed, and her story becomes the minor plot line to the drama of the wolf pack's survival and politics.

At first I didn't like it because it was told from the wolves point of view but then I once again got engrossed by the wolves stories. Maybe this is my love of wolves, or maybe its just the way Jean George told the story. Either way, it was a good book.
While I enjoyed it (not NEARLY as much as I did when I was wee) the information presented in the story format didn't flow as well within the story as it did in the previous two books, making it a bit jarring from time to time and not quite as fun to read. Still good, though. :)
Slow in the beginning. By the end I liked it so much better and was surprised at how much we were learning about wolves. This is the last in a series so don't start here and work backwards like we did.
This book and Julie of the Wolves were the inspiration for some of my passions and dreams and flights of fancy to study wolves in the wild and be accepted like she was.
The final book in the series was not my favorite. At the same time, when it ended, I felt sad that my time with Julie and her wolf pack had come to an end.
More from Julie's wolves' perspective. We get to think how her olves move and what they go through in life which is pretty tough much like Julie's modern life.
Mostly a review from the wolf's perspective of the earlier 2 books. Still lots more about the lives of wolves. Interesting.
I really like this series. I haven't read this book in awhile but I can still remember that it was pretty great.
I liked the character of Julie, but not as much as I loved the wolves, and this one was all about the wolves. =)
Julie's Wolf Pack is another wonderful book by Jean Craighead George. It is the sequel to Julie of the Wolves and it is just as exciting but a bit more on the wolves perspective of living in the wild. Kapu is the new alpha wolf since his great father Amaroq died. He leads his pack through many hardships and makes great decisions for his pack. Tragic events happen, like Kapu's mother Silver dies but also exciting things like Kapu has pups with Aaka, his beautiful alpha female. I recommend this bo...more
One of my all time favorite books. I read it in the beginning of each winter and I never get tired of it.
