The Lion Who Stole My Arm by Nicola Davies*

On his way home from fishing, Pedru decides to check his snares for a heartier dinner.  A lion attacks him in the bush and runs off with his arm.
As Pedru contemplates how to kill this lion, he discovers things about lions, Africa and himself that transform him.
In this short novel, one learns a lot about African way of life and its creature.
I like how it shares the struggle of someone suddenly handicapped and how he adjusts.
