Buy THE CITY HEROES by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren is a series of short stories introducing the  reader to the lives of different characters in Africa, from animals to humans. Lovely  artwork  throughout the book adds a nice touch, giving the reader a glimpse of what is to  follow in that particular story. We meet cats as they discuss their problems in life. One  story  introduces the reader to a priest and his wife. Then there are the jungle ants and their  struggles to survive. And so much more.  Each story has a message, such as “fighting doesn’t solve anything” and “learn from one  another and work hard,” to name a couple. The stories also gave me a glimpse into the lives  of a different culture, that of Africa. This is a delightful group of short stories to make a  person thankful for his or her blessings. The author gives the reader a good look at another  world, that in some ways is much the same as my world yet also d...

This novel is a classic legend of a young hero’s magical journey through a fantasy world  where he is tested with incredible challenges that can only stem from the soul of the  author’s genuine African culture and vivid imagination. Being falsely accused of a crime,  Nihu, a tribal African boy, is banished to the Lonely Forest.

Like The Lord of the Rings, this epic high fantasy novel carries the reader  to another time and place. Nihu gets sucked into a world inside of a stone, visits a powerful  ruler in an underwater city, and befriends a group of refugees. The Adventures of Nihu will  not only allow an audience of all ages to escape their own realities, but draw them into a  world of high hopes, powers, and unimaginable desires.

BUY The City Heroes, the first short story in this book depicts the  life of cats! Author Uwuigiaren had brought the lives of street  cats together is this heroic story.  One menace, Flinz, killed so many cats and caused  heartaches for cats who wanted peace and to get alone with  fellow cats and humans. How can one cat be so vicious?  Uwuigiaren has many themes running through these six  stories: Courage, survival, friendship, destiny, hard work,  forgiveness, death, strange coincidences are just a few. The  title was somewhat misleading to me. Book: The City Heroes and other stories from the heart of Africa Reviewer: Emma Price. If you enjoyed the review, please download or share!
