The Wolf Girls
An Unsolved Mystery from History
Table of Contents
About The Book
In 1920 a missionary brought two young girls to an orphanage in India. The girls didn’t know how to talk, walk, or eat from a plate. Some people thought the girls had been abandoned by their parents. Some people said the girls were brought up by wolves in the wild. Still others thought that the missionary who ran the orphanage made up the story about the girls. No one knows for sure.
Become a detective, study the clues, and see if you can help solve this chilling mystery from history!
