 A remberance from childhood

I first read this book young. Talk of feral children and who's property they are to is some that went over my head.what I did notice that the text changed from simple wording to more complex as Mila became more human.

And now that I have read this as an adult I still enjoy it. This time thinking of Genie a actual wild child who was loved by the researches working with her. And makes me wonder if this case was as inspiration for this book

Overall it is a quick enjoyable read
