A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World: The Rwendigo Tales Book Four

African adventure continues to abound in J.A. Myhre’s fourth installment of the Rwendigo Tales, A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World, as a mysterious virus brings a doctor and a young girl together. Full of truths and perils, their story unfolds compellingly; it’s a thought-provoking page-turner from start to finish, sure to delight children and adults alike. I enjoyed it, like I have Myhre’s previous stories, so if it piques your interest, I recommend checking it out.

This book was amazing, extraordinary writing and exciting to read at the same time with that also come with an adventure story that will bring you to African the pleas that still need to an explore with the place like island, that will need full skills to live and with a different culture, This story of this book will give us to leaning of good and evil but still full of hope, glimpses of redemption and beauty in spite to all of us. I highly recommend to everyone must to read this book.

This book is geared toward kids ages 8 - 12, and I found it quite interesting. It's a story of a doctor in Africa, one who's on the run, do to an epidemic of some kind, and he's not sure exactly what's going on. The story begins when he wakes up and finds himself on a deserted island. What he does next, well that brings you to the adventure part of the story. It seems that someone is determined that he should stay away. Or else they want him dead... This is the fourth book in a series, and I think I could have 'gotten' this story better if I would have read the earlier books first. In spite of that, I think this is a book that kids who like adventure, and maybe also missionary stories, will appreciate this one.

A great book for pre-teens and teens, they will enjoy the action and battle of good vs evil. Set in Africa, Myhre teaches a lot about the culture, including a glossary to help the reader understand the story. For two decades Author J. A. Myhre actually served as a doctor in the area in which this book is set. Doctoring during the ebola outbreak helped Myhre to craft this story and caused fiction to feel real. A compelling adventure book, it teaches readers significant truths about integrity, winning over evil, and being brave enough to make a difference in the world. I recommend it for your teen reader.

I have absolutely loved this series. It's captivated the mind of my 10-year-old son and has been a story that my 8-year-old daughter refers to quite a bit. We love the setting and how J. A. Myhre is able to write a lot from her experience as a doctor in Africa. I think her knowledge of Africa helps to make this book come alive. This is a fictional series, but she writes in facts beautifully. Her description of places is easy for the mind to imagine. We have even stopped reading it out loud to even look at the scenery of different places in Africa. The story focuses on good vs. evil, something that my son has loved. He has a hard time ending the story because he wants to know what happens next! Many great conversations have flowed out of not only this book, but the entire series. It's a series that promotes conversation with parents. I highly recommend this book as a read-aloud with your kids. If you don't read it aloud, then definitely follow up with them on things they loved or saw throughout the story. You definitely need to read it with your kids or you'll miss out on some good memories and conversation!

I don't know about y'all, but I love an exciting read! This book, "A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World" is actually geared toward the middle school crowd (which I used to teach and read to every single day!) but I found it enjoyable even at 25. As a teacher, I taught a reading class and we enjoyed the Giver series, the Call of the Wild, and other exciting, adventurous books and I think my students would have really, really loved this book as well. It follows a doctor working in epidemic conditions in East Africa and what happens to him during that time period. I don't want to give too much away, but the doctor finds himself on a deserted island near death and his only companion to help him is another survivor of the epidemic. The really blood-pumping part of the story is their adventure to return to Africa and their discoveries along the way-needless to say, it turns into a fight for not only their lives, but also for justice. I think if you enjoy a good adventurous story and especially if you have children somewhere between around 9 to 13, this would be an awesome book to share with them (or to read for yourself, I won't tell!)

First of all, the ink illustrations help bring the African setting come alive. Second, the dichotomy between those people willing to help the pair and those trying to harm them keeps the story moving quickly. There is even a divide between elements of nature that threaten them and ones that keep them safe. The African setting makes the book different from other elementary/middle school fiction books. I think children will especially latch onto the special relationship between the very clever Nykato and her bush baby, Komba. The book will especially appeal to readers who seek adventure and new places.

What is it like to grow up in Africa? That's what J.A. Myhre sought to depict for her children through her Rwendigo Tales. Originally written as Christmas presents, but now, a gift shared with a wider audience, Myhre shows rather than tells her readers what it is like to grow up in Africa. Her experience as a doctor who has served with Serge in East Africa for over two decades uniquely qualifies her to present the distinct challenges of those living in the African jungles. A Fever, a Flight, and A Fight for the World is the fourth book in her series, aimed at youth, which takes us on a journey with "A doctor volunteering in a village plagued by a mysterious virus...and a young girl...the only other survivor..." who find themselves on a deserted island. Each chapter leaves you wanting to read the next. Like the previous title in this series, I thoroughly enjoyed A Fever, a Flight, and A Fight for the World over an afternoon and evening. Although it doesn't expressly tell how the Gospel makes a difference in the character's lives or how the Gospel gives hope to those facing sin and suffering, it lends itself well to that discussion. Myhre's writing continues to be engaging, wholesome, and age-appropriate while avoiding over-simplicity in vocabulary, plot, and conflict and is a thought-provoking introduction to life in Africa.

I don’t want the series to end! Hoping Jennifer has grand-babies to write for in the coming years! I am curious how much international readers will sense in the Rwendingo the truth of life in East Africa, I hope they glean the significance. The stories are created, but the atmosphere is real. . .the sense of a true fight for good against evil, life over death, the systemic oppression by those in power, the faithful who become ordinary heroes thanks to courage and precious help offered at the right time. My girls are 10 and 13, the books are perfect for them, but great for me too!!
