(2) YA Gerstein explores an exotic and fascinating topic: the story of the wild boy, found in the forests of southern France shortly after the French Revolution, and the young doctor named Jean-Marc Itard who committed himself to the task of introducing him to the norms of social behavior and learning. The well-researched novel is told from a variety of perspectives, including Victor's.
