Wild Boy

the Real Life of the Savage of Aveyron

My nine year old daughter and I read this book at the same time. I did so while she was at school. Neither of us could put it down. Such a fascinating story. It appealed to me because we are Francophiles and thinking about a trip to France next year. An added bonus was that it included education methods used with Deaf children in the early 1800s which I find interesting as I used to teach Deafblind adults. I think my daughter enjoyed the idea of a child living in the wild all alone and surviving this way until he was found at the age of nine.
