The bite of the mango by Mariatu Kamara and Susan McClelland is an appalling story of the atrocities in Sierra Leone and is definitely for older readers. This semi autobiography tells of one young girl, Mariatu, who when trying to hide from the terrorists, is found and her hands are cut off to prevent her voting at the election. The story of survival after that treatment will bring tears to the eyes of the most hardened senior reader. Reviewed by Fran Knight
