Overview
The logs were never dead - they were waiting.
Sam is back at Uncle Mike's for the long summer light, and the woods have been busy since spring. A windstorm dropped a giant fir, and suddenly the dead wood is loud with life: banded shelves stacked like shuffled cards, soft caps in the damp river shade, and one blazing orange cascade you can spot from the trail.
Jesse has been watching the logs all along, and Riley rides in from the creek spur ready to work. Together the three friends learn to read the busiest, least-seen kitchen in the forest - which fungus is a tool, which one is a careful yes cooked under Uncle Mike's eye, and why the prettiest white mushrooms in the woods are a hard no, forever.
Then a stranger's bag of torn mushrooms turns up on the fence line, and the summer's real mystery begins: who takes without asking - and what does it cost the woods when they do?
The Logs That Woke is the fifth Northwoods Adventure in the Medicinal Mysteries series - a story of friendship, patience, and the strange, useful, sometimes dangerous fungi hiding on every fallen log. Perfect for readers ages 8-12 who love nature, mystery, and real-world know-how.
Includes original illustrations for every chapter.
