More DescriptionWhen 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.

Eric, Brian, and Mandy set out to solve a very old mystery and save the town of Tanglewood.
