Mamba Point by Kurtis Scaletta

One of the deadliest snakes in the world is the Black Mamba, found in parts of Africa.  It is aggressive, venomous and huge -- growing to be up to 12 feet in length.  People hope to never see a Black Mamba in their lifetime.

What if one of those snakes decides to make you its friend?  This is what happens to Linus Tuttle in Kurtis Scaletta's new book Mamba Point.  The snake likes to hang out with Linus; to be petted, talked to, and played with just like a puppy dog or a kitten.  What could possibly go wrong??
