Thankfully, this unsympathetic relationship soon gave way to a Paris tutelage under the much kinder Jean-Marc Gaspard Itard at an institute for deaf-mutes. Twice he was captured, but it wasn’t until 1800 that the roughly 12-year-old child was caught and sent to an orphanage, where a ‘grim, narrow-nosed professor’ tried to determine if he belonged to an entirely different species called Homo ferus. In the mountains of southern France, a filthy, naked young boy lived like an animal in the woods. “Losure follows up The Fairy Ring (the Booklist 2012 Top of the List-Youth Nonfiction winner) with another novelistic true story with obvious appeal to young readers. “An interesting, well-informed retelling.” “A fascinating story… a quick read that becomes more intriguing as it unfolds.” “Absorbing non-fiction…a beautiful, evocative story about a real-life ‘Wild Boy’ who lived in a forest in 18th century France.”
