    About this audiobook

    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.

      First: very easy comparison to Jerry Spinelli's Crash, in re: a bully who doesn't entirely realize he's a bully, or what consequences his actions have on his usual target.

      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. When they finally admit that they're calling it quits, Eric's reaction is more of relief than surprise. There's the missing girl, whose whole story we never get--and while I'm curious about it, this isn't her story. There's Eric himself, the tough-guy football player who's actually quite squeamish and easily rattled.

      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.
