In this exciting fourth and final audiobook of the Rwendigo Tales series, listeners will be inspired by ordinary people who make the extraordinary choice to stand against great evil. Written by J. A. Myhre, a doctor living and working in East Africa, this adventure delivers powerful themes of justice, overcoming evil, and the courage to make a difference. In A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World, a doctor volunteering in a village plagued by a mysterious virus wakes up on a deserted island—injured, sick, and near death—with no memory of how he got there. As Dr. Mujuni slowly regains his memory, he pieces together the horrific reality of what happened to the community and learns just how far the government-backed officials will go to silence all knowledge of the epidemic. With the help of a young girl named Nyakato, the only other survivor, he must find a way back to the mainland. But what they uncover on their journey is even more dangerous than they could have imagined. Through a series of perils and hazards, Mujuni and Nyakato must fight for more than their own survival, discovering the true cost of standing against corruption and greed. This powerful adventure offers hope in the midst of great loss, triumph and courage in the face of death and injustice, and love in the midst of darkness.

Great Gusts - Winds of the World...

Melanie Crowder, Megan Benedict

From Antarctica’s biting katabatic gusts to Hawai‘i’s sweet-smelling moani, discover fourteen winds of the world through poetry and scientific facts. 
  
Lift your face to the breeze— 
let it bathe your cheeks 
sift through your hair 
tease your fingertips. 
  
In a dynamic collection of poems, Melanie Crowder and Megan Benedict explore the world’s winds, from Italy’s swaggering maestro to Libya’s fierce ghibli to Canada’s howling squamish. The poetic styles used reflect the characteristics and sometimes the location of each wind: Japan’s blustery oroshi is celebrated in haiku, for example, while the poem about Britain’s helm uses iambs in a nod toward the iambic pentameter of English sonnets. Sidebars relay the science behind how each wind forms, where it blows, and the weather systems it heralds. More meteorological details can be found in the back matter, which includes explorations of the origin of wind and how winds are named and a glossary.
