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

A great conclusion to the series!

In the final installment of the Rwendigo Tales, a man must make a decision to stand against evil despite terrible odds of his own survival. The author, who, along with her husband, served as medical missionaries during the Ebola viral breakout in Africa knows her subject personally and writes a terrific story. Such a timely book in this time of Covid and pandemic fright. Although the author wrote this book for her children, it is a book that would be enjoyed by adults as well and produce interesting discussion. 50% of royalties go to a Rwendigo Fund to empower kids like those found in these tales.

I have loved this whole series, which we've used as family read-alouds. Stories of life in East Africa, mixing reality with hope. Many good family discussions have come from these books!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!)

Dr. Myhre has a unique writing style, but this is a good book: a tale of justice and healing, a tale of mercy and truth.

I love this entire series. Dr. Myhre's writing is well balanced between description that transports the reader into the story and dialogue that makes her books hard to put down. The world she paints is ripe with reminders that though there is real and intimidating darkness, light breaks in and shines even brighter. I am both entertained and encouraged by these books, and I hope that the stories will especially linger in the minds of younger readers as they determine the causes for which they will stand and fight.

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!!

In all honesty, I have not read the first 3 books of this series. So, I can only base my opinion of this book and not of the whole series.

This book is more geared towards pre-teens. It has adventure, suspense, and at times can be a bit intense, it is a tale of good vs evil, although fictional, the story takes place in Africa, which you will references.

Teens need to be aware that we are living in dangerous times, and that the world is not a safe place, there is good but they must also realize there is evil at the extreme. And what is a bit terrifying is that this book could become a reality in regards to biological warfare.

It's a great read, and just from reading this book I can almost guarantee it's predecessors are just as exciting and intriguing as the last of it's series.

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.

This fictional tale is a captivating story informing the young person on African culture while teaching them about the fight of good and evil. If you know or are a pre-teen or teen (ideally ages 11-14) who loves reading fictional tales that deal with matters of truth and expand your cultural horizon, consider this gripping page-turner on the fight of good and evil.

As Christians, we believe we live in a fallen and sinful world. That means it should not surprise us with we deal with the death of a loved one. It should not shock us to see the suffering that goes on in the world, where there seems to be a continuous fight of good versus evil. Yet, while these things should not surprise, they should not make us indifferent or apathetic either. Rather, they should cause us to weep and grieve because of the sorrow sin has brought to this fallen world. In other words, incidents of suffering and sin need to be processed, not passed over. This is a great need among young people. Pre-teens and teens especially need to learn to process the fight of good versus evil in a fallen world and to recognize the power of love is ultimate. In A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World, author J.A. Myhre shares a gripping fictional tale of the fight between good and evil.

The fourth and final book in the Rwendigo Tales series, A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World, takes place in the midst of the African landscape and culture. The story of tragedy, disease, and death resonate with the author, J.A. Myhre, who has served as a doctor with Serge in East Africa over the last two decades. In the book, though, the fight for good versus evil is not merely met on grounds of disease and death, but deception. Dr. Mujuni finds himself a survivor of a virus epidemic in a village that has been plagued by them. Coming in contact with only a young girl named Nyakato and her bush baby Komba, they make an expedition back toward the mainland. Along the way they encounter help but also find out the harm they face, particularly with Dr. Mujuni and the questions and news surrounding the virus epidemic. In the midst of this, Dr. Mujuni comes face-to-face with this reality of good versus evil in what he faces and lives to witness which wins out.

A Fever, A Flight, and a Fight for the World is a captivating tale for pre-teens and teens to read as they look out into the world and process the fight of good versus evil in it. Author J.A. Myhre writes in an engaging way with knowledge of the African culture, even educating the reader along the way as the glossary of unfamiliar or foreign words at the end of the book highlight. Of course, a fictional story that covers the facts of good and evil is not complete without addresses the topics from the point of Christian themes, as the reader will notice throughout the book. Scattered references throughout the book serve to remind the reader of how we can understand and process the issues of good and evil in the first place. Simply put, this fictional tale is a captivating story informing the young person on African culture while teaching them about the fight of good and evil. If you know or are a pre-teen or teen (ideally ages 11-14) who loves reading fictional tales that deal with matters of truth and expand your cultural horizon, consider this gripping page-turner on the fight of good and evil.

I received this book from New Growth Press in exchange for this review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own and are my honest review of the book.
