"Mamba Point" by Kurtis Scaletta follows the story of a young boy named Max, who moves to Liberia with his family. Struggling to adapt to a new environment and culture, Max discovers a world filled with adventure, friendship, and challenges. He befriends local children and learns about their traditions while dealing with his own fears and insecurities. The story beautifully weaves themes of resilience, courage, and the power of human connection, illustrating the challenges of growing up in an unfamiliar place and the bonds that form through shared experiences.
