Intoduction Summary
Measle is a 10 year old boy that is the son of Sam and Lee Stubbs. Sam and Lee Stubbs is a hunter that hunts for Wrathmonks that are very close to the Wizard Guild. Measle once lived with a Wrathmonk named Basil Trombone but then he was able to live with his parents. He now lived in a Merlin Mansion with a dog named Tinker and a nanny named Nanny Flannel. He also lived with his dad Sam Stubbs that is a powerful wizard, along with his mom, Lee Stubbs that is a manafount, she is able to recharge Sam’s mana when it ran out.
One day they were going to a trip to the isles of smiles when Lee noticed someone suspicious touched her and causing effects to her. A few days later at the grocery store, Lee was kidnapped and Sam had amnesia. They suspect that the Wrathmonks were behind this but they weren’t aware that the Dragodon was helping them. The Dragodon is the most powerful species that is capable of destroying the Stubbs family. Sam and Nanny Flannel now must act smart and wise of what to do next.
Amazing Thing
I imagine that I’m reading this book and then something happen to me, that something is how I became very interested to fantasy and I started to be inspired to make a book about fantasy and about dragons and such. What would I do now is that I would continue reading Measle and the Dragons and other fantasy book that maybe has the same author as Measle and the Dragons.
Prediction
I predict that later on, Measle would go to the Isle of Smiles in search of his mother since his mother was kidnapped. Then he would face the Wrathmonks and find a way to defeat them. I also predict that Sam would be cured of his amnesia and is able to remember all the things and is able to help Measle save Lee from the Wrathmonks and the Dragodon. Also that at the end, the Wrathmonks and the Dragodon would be defeated and Measle would live happy with his family once again.

With this skill, Miyax is able to tell the wolves that she needed help to survive, that she needed the wolves to bring her some meat for her food so she could eat.

“Hello! My name is Miyax, the daughter of Kapugen!” Miyax said.
Naka, Kapugen’s friend, then said “Hello Miyax! I’m so happy that you decided to be a part of our family! Come on, we’ll take you home”
Miyax arrived at their home. There, Nusan taught Miyax how to knit clothes so that Miyax could help Nusan’s business. The next morning, Miyax was married to Daniel. After that, the days were normal, until one day Miyax found out what a terrible person Daniel is. Because of that, Miyax decided to run away. She then talked to her friend, Pearl.
“Pearl, I decided to run away. Don’t look for me” Miyax said.
Pearl then help equip Miyax with all the things that she need. After that, Miyax left.
Miyax had just remembered what had happened in the past, she now has to focus on doing her best to survive. Then Jello came and Jello stole Miyax’s bag which is full of things that she needed to survive.
“Jello! Give it back! I need that to survive!” Miyax screamed in panic.
Thankfully, Miyax is able to retrieve the things she needed to survive. After a few while, Amaroq came and killed Jello. Miyax was really shock! But then she realized why Amaroq killed Jello.
“Oh no Amaroq killed Jello! I guess it’s because Jello stole from me and so Amaroq gave what he deserve” Miyax said.
After that happened, Miyax was in her tent, when she heard a loud roar. She looked outside and found what appears to be a bear. Amaroq and the pack was beside the bear, fighting. Miyax panic but she realized that she was going to be safe with the wolf pack around so she watched the wolves fight from her tent.
“Go Amaroq! Kill that beast!” Miyax whispered to herself.

4. Summary
Based on what I read, the story so far is about Miyax running away from her home because she was running away from her terrible husband, Daniel. She was only thirteen years old but based on experience and knowledge, she is able to do the best she could to survive. She then also made friends with wolves that helped her survive.
In my opinion, this story is great, really interesting and fun to read. The positive thoughts that I have about this book is that Miyax is really amazing because she is so young yet is able to know all those stuff about hunting, surviving, and all. She is really smart and could learn to talk to wolves. Though I have a negative thought about the story which is when Daniel did terrible things to Miyax. Well I think that Miyax was reasonable to run away and I think that Daniel is really dumb to be intimidated by what his friends said.
5. Questions
Will Miyax finally reach Point Hope and is able to meet her pen pal Amy?
Will the wolves survive and will Miyax survive?
Will Miyax stay with the wolves or go to the city?

Julie of the wolves
Character Profile
1. Miyax = Miyax is a smart girl that tries to survive in the wild. She is a very good observer and can imitate the wolf’s behavior. She is able to create and do stuff to survive like build a home and hunt animals, and she is able to apply all the things her father had taught her
2. Amaroq = Amaroq is the leader of the pack that is well respected by the other wolves. The other wolves look up to him and Amaroq decides what the pack should do and where is should go. When it first saw Miyax, it ignored her, but then invited her to the pack and welcomed her in the den.
3. Kapugen = Kapugen is Miyax’s dad that left Miyax and haven’t came back. But with all the things Kapugen taught Miyax, Miyax was able to survive. Kapugen was a very good dad and teacher to Miyax because without him, Miyax would probably not survive.
4. Silver = Silver is the wolf that takes care of the baby wolves. There were some baby wolves that need to be taken care of and some are quite naughty. Because of that, Silver may look a bit mean and strict to the baby wolves but that really is only for a good cause.
Question and Summary
Question = What did Miyax do when she was lost?
Summary =
Miyax is an Eskimo girl and now is in the Arctic and is lost. She’s very hungry and she saw a den that has a pack of wolves. She was hoping the wolves would notice her and bring her some food. But the wolves, especially the leader Amaroq, kept on ignoring her while she tries to get their attention.
Miyax was lost because she just ran away from her terrifying husband, Daniel. She was just 13 years old and already married. She also intended to visit her pen pal, Amy. For her to do that, she must find her way to Point Hope.
To go to Point Hope, she must first survive being lost. She was really depending on the wolves to keep bringing her food at first, but then she knew she shouldn’t depend on the wolves for survival.
Prediction
My prediction =
I predict that Miyax would continue living with the wolves and that the wolves would help keep her alive. And that she would be able to get away from her marriage and meet her dad once more. Also that one day she would find a town or find her way to Point Hope and could stop living with the wolves.
Image from a scene
This is when Amaroq was calling her, inviting her into it's home.
She cautiously crawls towards it.
Then she made her way to the wolf's den.
