Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and A History of Wild Places, this "masterful debut novel tells an epic tale of love, loss, and profound connection...with lyrical prose and heart-racing action" (USA Today best-selling Author Terri Giuliano Long).

Nature finally rises against humanity.

Flora Reed discovers a lifeless body in her front yard the morning after the last day of her junior year of high school. Matters get worse when more people from her small town are found dead under mysterious circumstances and police take an interest in the boy next door, Carl. Flora is convinced that Carl is innocent. Instead, she suspects that the deaths are somehow connected to her younger sister Fauna’s tragic accident a year earlier. What she learns changes everything, and she has to race against time to prevent the killings from spreading. Flora and a small group of friends soon find themselves at the onset of an apocalyptic battle between man and nature, with no one believing their story.

The Lightning Tree is the first installment of the Natural Intelligence Revolution Trilogy.

”Fogelberg presents an exciting story.... A brisk, thrilling novel of humankind versus nature...it’s a fast-paced, intriguing story that will likely appeal to young and older adults alike and keep them turning pages.” (Kirkus Reviews)
