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.

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.

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.

Ten-year-old Mu, orphaned as a toddler, has lived his entire life in the heart of Africa. He has served in the household of a great-uncle where he is unloved and ignored. Mu has little hope of happiness and little hope that anything will ever change. But one day everything does change.
