Mamba Point by Kurtis Scaletta 271 pages

An odd book. When Linus's family is transferred to Liberia, his family readjusts much quicker than he. He has a reputation of stressing out easily and truth be told it would be easy to freak out in Liberia, especially since he seems to have been adopted by a poisonous black mamba. Everywhere he goes, the mamba seems to be following him. Why? He meets strangers like the son of his dad's co-worker who hates his life in Liberia. Quirky, but interesting characters.
