In the book Little Bobby O'Malley, the reader learned
of how Bobby saved the life of a young Seminole Indian
boy named Tenatke-Yaha (Thunder Wolf ), and how that
boy, whom Bobby would later call Thunder, became his
best friend.

Bobby saved Thunder from a panther, so the people of his
village gave Bobby the name of Hakla-Kowechobe, which
means (The Boy Who) Talks to the Panther.

A year after meeting Bobby, Thunder's tribe decided to move
deep into the Everglades to escape the rapidly growing world
of the white man.

This book begins with Bobby's search for new adventures,
and introduces a girl who becomes his new best friend.
When his new friend comes into danger, Bobby and his dog,
Bandit, must risk their lives in a trek to seek help from the
spirit of the conch shell.
