Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson
The Lion Who Stole My Arm by Nicola Davies

Recommended for Grades 2-5: This is a heart-pounding adventure with descriptive details that allow the reader to visualize the setting and action of the story. It makes for an excellent read aloud. The Lion Who Stole My Arm, is a story about bravery and life’s difficult decisions. I was hooked just five pages into the book when Pedru encounters the lion for the first time. Will Pedru join the conservationists in Mozambique who are trying to save the lions ? Or will he seek revenge?
