    About this ebook

    The Old Lion is a magical story of family and friendship during a very real World War. Told through the eyes of two unforgettable young children, The Old Lion roars with a spirit of resiliency, as Andy and Evie adjust to their rapidly changing world—a world in which waking up in a lion’s cage isn’t half bad. Author Marlene Newman tells this important tale with uncommon tenderness, wit, and joy.
