  A Bird, A Girl, and a Rescue is the second audiobook in the fictional series, The Rwendigo Tales. Designed for eight- to fourteen-year-old youth, this adventure novel is written for children and teens who love reading and learning about faraway and different parts of the world, while relating to characters and issues that seem much closer to home.  Eleven-year-old Kiisa has no idea why her parents would send her away to boarding school. She wonders why they can’t all stay together in their beautiful African valley home. But no matter what she says, they are firm: she must go, and she must go to this school.  As she says a tearful goodbye to her father, he whispers, “For such a time as this. . . . Remember that phrase, and try to open your trunk soon. You’ll find something unexpected inside.” When Kiisa opens the trunk, she is astonished to find a small heap of black-and-white feathers that quickly unfold into a little bird, a wagtail to be exact.  Her surprise only deepens when the bird starts to speak, ”My name is Njili. I am one of the messengers, though a small one. I have been sent to assist you with the Rescue.” Kiisa has no idea what she means, but she will soon find out.  Join Kiisa on the adventure of a lifetime—a dangerous rescue mission that includes rebels, stolen girls, illegal logging, a hungry cobra, and more messengers who help in unexpected ways. Kiisa sets out to rescue others but finds herself rescued from fear and bitterness as she learns that bravery is nothing more (or less) than being in the right place at the right time and taking action despite her fears.  This audiobook is an adventure that children, young adults, and even full-grown adults will not be able to put down. A Bird, a Girl, and a Rescue creatively and convincingly explores universal themes such as family, forgiveness, bullying, and courage by blending magical realism and compelling storytelling.  Written by a long-time medical missionary to Africa, it draws first-world readers into another (equally real) world—where young girls are captured by rebel soldiers, terrorism is a way of life, and environmental resources are exploited without a second thought. As Myhre’s characters deal with these real-life issues in the news, readers of all ages will gain a deeper interest in global human concerns.

  Dudley the Basset Hound - A...

  Dudley is a remarkable basset hound with distinctive black, tan, and white coloring, complete with charming black spots scattered across his white patches. His most striking features are his extraordinarily long ears that sweep the ground like silk scarves and his wonderfully saggy skin that gives him a noble, gentle expression. Living in a cozy cottage on Willowbrook Lane with his beloved mum and dad, Dudley embodies all the best qualities of his breed - he's stubborn yet loving, loyal beyond measure, and possesses an extraordinary nose that can detect scents from incredible distances. 
  Dudley's daily life is filled with simple pleasures: following his dad around the house like a devoted shadow, sleeping contentedly under Dad's favorite armchair while producing the most spectacular snores, and participating in evening howling concerts that delight the entire neighborhood. His deep, resonant bark makes him sound like a much larger dog, commanding respect from visitors and delivery drivers alike. Though he can be wonderfully stubborn when he sets his mind to something, his love for his family knows no bounds, and he greets everyone he meets with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. 
  The great adventure of Dudley's life begins on an ordinary Tuesday morning when his mum mysteriously disappears while working in the garden. After Dad's visual search proves fruitless, Dudley's extraordinary scenting abilities come to the rescue. Using his magnificent nose, he follows a complex trail through their long garden, past the greenhouse, vegetable beds, and apple trees, all the way to the potting shed at the very back of their property. 
  There, Dudley discovers that his beloved mum has become trapped inside the shed when the door mechanism jammed, leaving her unable to escape. His urgent barking alerts Dad to the location, and together they free Mum from her predicament. Dudley's heroic rescue makes him a neighborhood legend.
