The Forager Brothers: Ghost Light

Two brothers. One forest. And something spreading through the Cascades that no field guide has ever described.

Dylan and Vin Bisht have been foraging the trails of the Pacific Northwest since they could walk. They know how to hunt for edible mushrooms and wild plants, they know the smell of rain on old-growth Douglas fir, and they know their favorite trail near Snoqualmie Pass better than any place on earth. Their family's connection to the forest runs deep - passed down from their great-grandfather, a forest ranger in the foothills of the Himalayas.

But when a day at Seattle's Wild Mushroom Show turns unexpectedly serious, and a world-famous mycologist warns of mysterious happenings in the Cascades, the brothers find themselves tracking a mystery that science can barely explain. Something is spreading, with consequences reaching far above the surface.

The Forager Brothers: Ghost Light is a Pacific Northwest adventure for curious readers aged 8-12, packed with real mycology, ecology, and the kind of science that will change how you see the forest. Includes a back-of-book science guide written by Dylan himself - covering bioluminescent fungi, the zombie ant fungus, and the real science hiding in the Cascades.

A Pacific Northwest middle-grade adventure packed with real mycology, muddy boots, and two brothers who know exactly how to listen when the forest is trying to say something.

Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love nature, science, and outdoor adventure. Ideal for school and public library collections.
