  Just thirteen-years-old, Kusiima has no time for school, sports, or hanging out with the other boys in his African village. With no father or mother to take care of him, he works long hours to support his grandmother and sickly baby sister. Then one day, Kusiima's life suddenly changes when he travels into a nearby protected forest.  In the forest, Kusiima is presented with many choices, all with uncertain outcomes. Should he go along with illegal logging? Help to save an endangered baby gorilla? Follow a donkey to who knows where? With each choice, Kusiima has to make yet another decision about what is right in front of him. As he does, he meets a mysterious doctor who holds the key to his past and his future. In the end, Kusiima is faced with the hardest choice of all. Can he forgive a great wrong and heal a broken relationship?  Readers of all ages won't want to put down this exciting book that addresses current realities like AIDS, malnutrition, and environmental destruction, all set in a richly detailed African adventure story. Following along as Kusiima makes his decisions, readers will find themselves considering their own choices and growing in empathy for others.  This action-packed tale of a boy, his sister, and an orphaned gorilla is also a clear call to give up bitterness and forgive deep hurts, restoring broken lives and relationships. A Forest, a Flood, and an Unlikely Star is the third audiobook in the Rwendigo Tale Series and follows AudioBook One, A Chameleon, a Boy, and a Quest, and Book Two, A Bird, a Girl, and a Rescue.

  The Transition Of Juan Romero -...

  H.P. Lovecraft

  H. P. Lovecraft’s The Transition of Juan Romero is one of his briefest and most mysterious tales, written in a single day on September 16, 1919, yet withheld from publication until 1944, seven years after his death. Set in a grim Nevada mine, it follows a narrator and his co-worker, Juan Romero, as they descend into a newly opened shaft where an unearthly sound echoes from below. What they discover—or perhaps imagine—blends dream and nightmare, fusing cosmic horror with the claustrophobic dread of the deep earth. The story’s simplicity and ambiguity reveal an early experiment in atmosphere over plot, foreshadowing Lovecraft’s later mastery of unseen terrors and unspeakable revelations. 
  Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer whose strange, atmospheric fiction reshaped modern horror and science fiction. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, he grew up steeped in myth, astronomy, and classical literature, all of which infused his later work. Lovecraft’s stories—The Call of Cthulhu, The Colour Out of Space, and At the Mountains of Madness among them—introduced the vast “Cthulhu Mythos,” a vision of an indifferent cosmos ruled by ancient, incomprehensible beings. His influence spread posthumously through pulp magazines, writers like August Derleth and Clark Ashton Smith, and later generations of authors, filmmakers, and artists. Though he struggled with poverty and obscurity in life, Lovecraft’s unique blend of cosmic awe and existential dread has made him one of the most influential voices in speculative fiction history.
