Wolf Children is an extraordinary yet true story of real feral kids. Sue Isle obscured all the bits of information for this unbelievable book.

They hated clothes, snarled, barked and ran away from humans to go back to their pack.

This short book is exciting yet sad as we live the life of these poor children that do not understand civilization. A great book for children that enjoy adventure and mystery. Ages 9+
