Mystery of the Firefly Riders: Andar to Walk Adventures Norma Jean Waterhouse

These are the never-before-seen journals of how fourteen-year-old Anderson "Andy" Noble became Andar. Why is one of America's national forests dangerous? How do the vacation adventures with his new little cousin, Joe-Red, help Andy solve the mystery? When he has a serious accident, why would making the right choices give him a new attitude? Noble Ranch becomes a home for orphans with lots of room for more children. Native American Tom Three Horse helps others in Union Station. How did he help Andy discover a new way to ride a horse? Andy was given a new body. Does his new name: Andar...tu para siempre vas a andar con migo...mean a new walk? The mission: to explore kindness by putting on the right choice of "armor," helping kids today, even those with special needs, become Andars to walk with the King. Norma Jean Waterhouse set Mystery of the Firefly Riders in 1935-39 as a back-story to Mystery of the Firefly Charms. She knewthis gentle era of music parties, quilting bees, horses, night riders, shivarees, crawdads, chalk-rocks and "shill-lay-lees." Families in the Ozarks felt rich! Little kids were happy, free to run barefoot and explore...beginning the Andar To Walk Adventures.
