About this title

Review:

"George continues to write, with astounding intimacy, about the wolves she introduced in the Newbery-winning Julie of the Wolves. There is death, pain, and sadness here, illness, human interference and disaster. But there is also a grandeur and dignity."--Publishers Weekly

"Drawing upon her knowledge of wolf behavior, Eskimo culture, and Alaska, George continues the story of Kapu, the splendid male pup Julie nursed back to life in Julie of the Wolves."--School Library Journal
