Sometimes, a big problem calls for a hero or two ... or maybe even hundreds of tiny heroes! Large and small creatures alike live in the dark forest and safeguard the trees, plants, and the East and West Rivers. There are the ants and spiders, the little guardians on the ground; the shy horse with the heart of gold; a bat called Ivan; buzzing, busy bees; and a beautiful, glowing fish named Alice Mae. But the East River has grown dark and ugly, poisoned by trash from the local factory; it is now unfit for life. The animals know they cannot let the West River follow the same path, or their lives will be in danger. They need a hero to help! That hero is a child, one who visited long ago, and one who promised to come again should they ever need her. And that time is now ... A timely story about the importance of respecting all life and taking care of our environment, A Child from Nowhere will delight and entertain the smallest child to the oldest adult. Dare to dream of a better place ... but be careful-you could change the world!

A Child from Nowhere
Chapter One
Every summer, our family comes to this big house near the lake. We all want to see how the children have grown and what each person has experienced during the time we have been apart. During the day, some of us play games, like volleyball or soccer. The front yard is so big you can play many different games at the same time. Or, you can swim in the clear blue water of the river. At the edge of the front yard, there is a rope hanging from the branch of a huge oak tree so, it's fun to swing high and let go, to see who can make the biggest splash when they hit the water.At night, there is always a barbeque in the back yard.

All the children sleep in the huge attic. There are bunk beds, small beds, twin beds and one very big bed for Betsy. Because, Betsy is a big woman and late in the evening the little kids loved to sneak into bed to sleep with her.
When everyone has settled down, Betsy always turns off all the lights except for the tiny night light, for those who are afraid of the dark. When it gets very quiet, so quiet you can hear the sound of crickets down below, Betsy will start her story, and it always starts the same way ...
"It all happened right here, my dears, in this very house", says Betsy, "and this is where it ended too. Every one of you is part of a mystery from long, long ago. This is a story my mother
