The Boy from the Woods

Fiction by Harlan Coben


Thirty years ago, a boy of about six was discovered living in the woods with no memory of having ever been anywhere else. Papers called him a "Real-Life Mowgli," and the case received a lot of attention. Still, no one came forward to claim the child, and his origin remained a mystery. Soon everyone forgot about the boy called Wilde.

Fast forward to the present and we have Naomi and Matthew, a girl who is picked on and bullied every day at the high school and a boy who feels guilty about not intervening. Then when Naomi disappears, Matthew is determined to find out what happened to her. 

Can Matthew make amends for ignoring Naomi's plight? Where has she gone? And what does this all have to do with the boy --who is now a grown man-- from the woods? All will be reveled in time!

This was a great thriller!
