Then one day, Kusiima’s life suddenly changes when he travels into a nearby protected forest. In the forest, Kusiima is presented with many choices, all with uncertain outcomes. Should he go along with illegal logging? Help to save an endangered baby gorilla? Follow a donkey to who knows where?
With each choice, Kusiima has to make yet another decision about what is right in front of him. As he does, he meets a mysterious doctor who holds the key to his past and his future. In the end, Kusiima is faced with the hardest choice of all. Can he forgive a great wrong and heal a broken relationship?

My review;
"A Forest, a Flood and an Unlikely Star" by author J.A. Myhre is the third book in this series called The Rwendigo Tales. This is about a boy named Kusiima who is only 13 years old. He is in Africa and he is just learning about life and how your actions will affect the rest of your life. It is a story with a lot of twists and turns and will keep you interested from the very beginning of the book. This is a book for anyone of any age to read and enjoy. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are mine.
