Description

Engage older learners with a **French true crime** reading comprehension activity about a baffling stolen-identity case. The two-page French nonfiction text follows the disappearance of 13-year-old Nicholas Barclay and the man who later claimed to be him.

Years after Nicholas disappeared from Texas, someone believed to be the missing teenager was found in Spain. His family welcomed him home, but inconsistencies raised questions—and the truth proved stranger than expected.

Nicholas Barclay was 13 when he disappeared from a park near his home in Texas. Several years later, he reappeared - in Spain. His family was overjoyed to have him back - but not everyone believed his story of abduction and abuse. The truth ended up being stranger than anyone would have imagined.
