A Forest, a Flood, and an Unlikely Star is a gripping and heartfelt adventure that follows one boy’s struggle for survival, courage, and forgiveness in the heart of Africa.
Thirteen-year-old Kusiima works tirelessly to care for his grandmother and baby sister, leaving no time for school or play. When a trip into a nearby protected forest leads him into a web of danger and difficult choices—illegal loggers, endangered animals, and hidden secrets—his life takes an unexpected turn. Along the way, Kusiima encounters a mysterious doctor who may hold the key to understanding his past and shaping his future.
As floods, betrayal, and loss test his resolve, Kusiima must choose between anger and forgiveness—and discover the kind of courage that heals hearts and restores hope. This moving story combines thrilling adventure with themes of compassion, redemption, and environmental care, inviting readers to think deeply about the choices that define us all.

Designed for eight- to fourteen-year-old youth, this adventure story 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. 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. 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?
