Interesting information given out this short little novel about a young boy who loses his arm in a lion attack and vows to kill the lion that did it. ( )

A boy named Perdu does indeed lose an arm to a lion that mauls him in a chance encounter. A good but somewhat cluttered story about having a strong spirit, adapting to disability, the life cycles of the African bush, and how science is helping man and animal learn to live more peacefully together. ( )

Perfect for younger readers -- second through fourth maybe. Simple sweet story -- not too gruesome -- with interesting factual information. ( )
