About this listen
In 1954, in a remote South American village, a four-year-old girl was abducted and then abandoned deep in the Colombian rainforest. So begins the incredible true story of Marina Chapman, who went on to spend several years alone in the jungle, her only family a troop of capuchin monkeys. Using instinct to guide her, she copied everything they did and soon learned to fend for herself.
At around 10 years old, a completely feral Marina was returned to civilisation by hunters, who sold her as a slave to a brothel. Beaten daily and groomed to be a prostitute, she escaped - to live the perilous existence of a Colombian city street kid. Marina's life as a wild child wasn't over. In some ways, it had only just begun.
This is her astonishing story.

An interesting story but an annoying narrator.
I enjoyed Marina's story of her life and found it interesting and mostly believable. However I did find the narrator's voice a little patronising and annoying. Read it rather than listen to it!

Jungle book with a twist
A book that will make you laugh, sigh, be appauled and other emotions. It is sad to think about others lives and how lucky we are

girl with no name
The start of the story I found gripping and did not want to stop listening to , but towards the end I felt the story flagged and disappointing I wanted more ... but overall a great story with lots of emotion and determination.

An outstanding story
This book is a must read! It’s an amazing story of strength, survival and adaptability. A story like no others and I love the insight to how the monkeys lived and adopted her as one of their own.

Inspiring
This story gave me new insights into my life. The narrator sounded crying and weeping and it soon started annoy me. One of the best books I've ever read though.

Where is the sequel?!?! I want more!
What a story of a person's indomitable life and triumphant. Such a captivating story full of loneliness, sadness, excitement and often forgetting that it was a real life experience of a young girl who was abandoned, used and abused but what a survivor. but the wildness, street smarts and the influence of monkeys create such a vivid character and those around her.
It is must read for anyone who is naive to the world.
I can't wait for the sequel...where is !!!
