Lilias Trotter: Daring in the Desert
"‘You could become the greatest living painter. Your paintings would be treasured for ever.’ Those were the words Lilias Trotter heard from John Ruskin, one of the world’s most established art critics. She had to make a choice between her talent and her calling. Both were gifts from God. In May 1879 Lilias knew what she should do. God’s work for Lilias was in the desert land of Algeria. Palm trees and camels replaced lamp posts and horse drawn carriages. The desert was her home, its people her friends and its Creator her reason for life."

The Country Artist: A Story About Beatrix Potter
"Tea with a hedgehog and supper with a rabbit? Beatrix Potter entertained guests that most people--certainly Beatrix Potter's proper Victorian parents--would have thought belonged in a meadow, not in a London nursery. Such unlikely companions were company for lonely Beatrix, and she spent much of her time sketching and making up stories about these small creatures. Beatrix was so well acquainted with the characters of her various animal friends that when she was older it seemed natural to write and illustrate small books about their delightful adventures. Generations of children all over the world have gotten to know and love Beatrix Potter's animal friends--Benjamin Bunny, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Squirrel Nutkin, Peter Rabbit, and many more. "

A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World
"Your description is well-written and engaging, but there are a few instances where "book" or "readers" might not fit for an audiobook format. Here's a revised version with more audiobook-friendly wording: A Fever, a Flight, and a Fight for the World is a compelling African adventure that will enthrall young listeners aged eight to fourteen who love thrilling stories and exploring faraway places. 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."

A Bird, a Girl, and a Rescue
"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."
