Mystery of the Firefly Charms: Andar "To Walk" Adventures Norma Jean Waterhouse

Anderson Andy Noble had been a fourteen-year-old quadriplegic. Now, in the Fifth Kingdom, the King gives him a new body. 'Tu para siempre vas a andar conmigo - You are to walk with me forever.' Andy has been Andar ever since. He is TopCom of the Firefly A3 space trainer and is mentor to a troubled pilot, Storm, and the girl engineer, Trace, who wears a SIS, her Separate Interchangeable Self-propelled robot. The space trio find themselves trying to solve the mystery of three Fireflies, and, at the same time, secretly helping the mentally-challenged Shermy and a group of backpackers with their adventures in rock collecting, rocketry, and river rafting. Trends show that children from pre-school age and up are learning to work with computers. Most of them know what happens when a virus gets into the system. They understand the analogy to the human factor of anger. Mystery of the Firefly Charms in the Andar's Adventures series is a fantasy that shows the attitude adjustment that can help them fight this virus. Readers learn there is a need to teach others no matter what the physical or mental problem. They learn how they can help better the lives now of disabled, mentally-challenged, rejected, and terminally-ill children they may know and how lives are changed forever by the King in the Fifth Kingdom.
