Mushrooms.  How can a book about mushrooms keep you engaged and entertained?  Somehow Buroker makes it happen.  Tara is a girly girl - she drives a pink convertible, wears lavender nail polish and likes living in the city.  But for the summer she's out on the Olympic Peninsula  at an eco village to write about living in a sustainable community.  But almost immediately she runs into trouble in the form of the village's hunky neighbor who is currently feuding with the village.  And someone is leaving dead animals around the village and wandering in the forest at night looking for something.This was a light, fun read - I enjoyed the characters and their interactions.  The plot was fun - complete with Buroker's traditional explosions that her fans have come to love.  I enjoyed every minute of this and found myself giggling through several parts.  And I even learned about mushrooms!
