«Le garçon qui se taisait» is the young adult novel by Lois Lowry, published by L'École des Loisirs in paperback (172 pages, in French).
Katy, the doctor's daughter, is fascinated by Jacob, a silent boy who imitates the sounds of the countryside and understands animals. Shunned by the village, Jacob keeps his own world; one day, instead of putting down a spare kitten, he saves it and gives it to Katy. A story about empathy, wordless communication and prejudice.
French translation by Dominique Kugler, published in 2005 in the Médium collection of L'École des Loisirs.
For young readers aged 12 and up who enjoy stories about adolescence and difference.
