You'll laugh, cry, and cheer! Mord McGhee's wonderfully wise Old Flames and Heroes is defining prose of our generation, and the perfect coming of age companion for grads--from grade school, high school, college, and beyond! Connecting childhood to adulthood in a delightful way. From a waterfall city the reader soars to great heights. Mord McGhee addresses life's ups and downs with humor, tenderness, fear, and delicious cider. He encourages readers to find the true meaning of the encounters experienced along the way, and how a little blue sun in the sky tethers them into one coming of age delight. In a starred review, world-renowned adventurer Adam Davies of the Travel Channel notes, "Mord McGhee's Old Flames and Heroes is a great addition to the genre (young adult fantasy)." McGhee's message is simple and fun, capturing the great balance of life and a parent's fears for their children, but through it all he makes it easy to laugh and believe in happy endings. A wonderful gift for anyone starting a new phase in their life! In another starred review by world famous cryptozoologist and Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum, Loren Coleman. "We measure a celebration, beginning anywhere. This one seems as good as any other. If you are a Fortean, don't know you are or want to be one, take delight today in a new uniquely intellectual American book by Mord McGhee."
