The Mossbrook Ledger

About this book

Twelve-year-old Sage Duran is struggling to survive at Mossbrook Academy, a prestigious environmental boarding school in the foggy Olympic Peninsula. While her peers excel, Sage can barely keep a terrarium alive, carrying the heavy burden of her late grandmother Adelaide's legacy. Everything changes when a fierce storm damages the abandoned East Wing greenhouse, uncovering Adelaide's secret research journals from the 1970s and 1980s detailing the Greenweave—a revolutionary, dormant mycelial network capable of rapid forest restoration. Retracing her grandmother's steps through a braided dual-timeline narrative, Sage collaborates with a selectively mute classmate named Toby Chen and the school's reclusive groundskeeper, Silas Finch. Together, they must prove the Greenweave's existence to save their beloved local forest from an imminent clear-cut development project, discovering that resilience is born from quiet persistence and showing up when it matters most.
