An incredible but true story

The author takes inspiration from the story of the incredible young Colton Harris-Moore. On a small island off Seattle, Colt lives with his alcoholic mother in a rutted mobile home in the forest. Children lively, intelligent and very sensitive he prefers to run rather than the woods to go to school. Wrongly accused of the theft of a bicycle eight, he declared war on the police. And just ten years, Colt "borrows" already dozens of luxury cars, boats, and go up to fly planes. To survive, this phenomenon not to use nhésite pizzas in congélos of its neighbors. These burglaries cost him BE placed in homes by social services. But each time Colt sévadera. Tracking down one lon now dubbed "the Barefoot Bandit" begins. His mares are increasingly spectacular and followed passionately around the world by fans.

An incredible but true story. Colt, a true child of the forest, fascinates with its resourcefulness. It attracts sympathy. Even the judge recognizes a certain admiration for the young man. I regret that the end of his mare in the Bahamas is not told in the book. Too bad. A very brief novel that is well worth a visit, especially if lon can not remember very well this extraordinary character.
