Really creepy plants.
After a strange rain, an invasive forest of toxic spiky black plants sprouts – spewing acid, gobbling birds, lurking in underground pits that swallow unwary people. Three outcast teenagers, however, seem to be immune – all previously with crippling allergies. And it just may be that these three are the secret to saving the world.
A thrilling first of a series.
For ages 10 and up.
