Kamara, Mariatu

The Bite of the Mango

(3) YA With Susan McClelland. Political instability in Sierra Leone forces twelve-year-old Mariatu to face unimaginable horrors, including rebels who chop off both of her hands. Yet her resilience enables her to recover from many losses, make friends, and continue her education as a refugee in Canada. Limited detail sometimes distances readers--for which they might be grateful while following this chilling autobiographical account.
