Bella's letter

Dear Mrs. C,


I have been reading this book and it is called “Julie of the Wolves” and I am about half way through it and I started about two days ago and I love it. I finished my book report book and have to get started on that book share project. But I have gone through this book so fast and I am almost done and can’t wait to read more of it. When I get home I go straight up to my room and read for like an hour and its like one of my favorite books……… so far. The author of the book is Jean Craighead George, and she is an amazing author. There is a series and this is the first book and it’s really good. This book is about this girl who runs away and can’t find her way back home. She runs into a pack of wolves. Her father ran into wolves before and communicated with them and made him part of the pack and that’s how he survived and lived. He sailed into the ocean and was never found again. She runs off and finds a pack of wolves she studies them and the way that they live. She leans all about there language the way they communicate. She understands them and she soon is part of there pack. They share there food until she found a way to Point Hope, she would meet the North Star, a ship that brought supplies from the USA. When it turns autumn the wolves move, but she cannot keep up with them because they are just to fast. She makes a compass and tries to find her way. That’s as far as I got and I can’t wait to read the rest. I have got the other books that carry the book on. I can’t wait to read that too! One day when she was walking down the road this man pulled up and said that his daughter was looking for a pen pal to exchange letters withy. They soon became great friends that talk back and fourth throughout the letters. Julie got married at 13 years old and she married Daniel. That’s why she ran away.
Sincerely,

Bella

  1. Dear Bella,
    I am so glad to see a student reading these books! I think that they are SO interesting. I love how this girl is able to communicate with the wolves. It makes me wonder if it is really how people could communicate with them. There are a few people that seem to be on another wavelength with animals. Like the Dog Whisperer. I think that those people are really gifted. There is also this man who lives in South Africa who has a very special relationship with the lions that he has raised on a reservation for wild life. He is also able to bond with hyenas. I read an interview with him and he knows that everyday he takes a risk with his life, but he loves them so much, he still takes that chance. Some days I think I would like to just be able to get my cat to behave! Keep up the good work, and don't forget to proof read your letters to make sure that you are using the right words. Spell Check doesn't always catch everything.
    Sincerely,
    Ms. C
