When 13-year-old Eric Parrish comes across glowing mushrooms in the woods behind his house, he's sure there's a scientific explanation. But when they start encroaching on the town--covering the football field and popping up from beneath the floorboards--Eric knows something's seriously wrong. Not that much else is going right: his parents are fighting, his little brother Brian is a little pill, and he's had a falling-out with his football team--over a pig. Then a runaway girl from a nearby boarding school warns Eric that the fungus could portend the town's doom and leave it in rubble--just like the village that inexplicably disappeared in the exact same spot over 200 years ago. Eric, Brian, and Mandy set out to solve a very old mystery and save the town of Tanglewood. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Second: strong science fiction that isn't (exactly) speculative--this is grounded in actual science. Or at least it seems like it is, anyway; I'm no mycologist myself.
Third: there's so much going on here that could overshadow parts of the plot, but it all works in perfect balance: Eric's parents are headed for divorce and it's obvious right from the beginning, but there's no hand-wringing will-they-won't-they.
And there's a mushroom plague overtaking the whole town.
I'll be working up a booktalk for this one for the spring or fall, depending when I'm next yabbering at sixth-graders. (
