What happens when reality overcomes fiction? Then you have a story like ALMA DE LOBO. This novella is the true story of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja. His is the only documented case in Spain of a feral child.

SUMMARY: At the age of seven, Marcos was sold by his father to work as a shepherd in a remote valley of the Sierra Morena. The older shepherd, who was teaching him the ropes, suddenly died, leaving Marcos on his own. ALMA DE LOBO describes how Marcos manages to survive in the mountains after being adopted by a pack of wolves. Then, the painful process of adapting to the world of humans after his capture, when he was 19-years-old. Hardly anyone believed his childhood stories, but when he was in his 60s an event changed his life…

ALMA DE LOBO is a page-turner. This novella is told in the past tense. It is an easy reader for intermediate and upper intermediate students - advanced second level students and third level students. With about 305 unique words and plenty of repetition, it tells a 4,190-word story. A full glossary for each of the ten chapters is included, plus illustrations for every chapter

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is one of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever researched and written about. I based this novella on the books, articles, interviews, movie and documentaries about Marcos’ life. Most importantly, I was able to interview Marcos himself!!!
