Ollie Connors and the Kingdom of Fungolia - Artie Miles

Ollie Connors and the Kingdom of Fungolia (Middle Grade Adventure Fiction) is a wild West Texas adventure for ages 8-12!

Twelve-year-old Ollie Connors has never been allowed to ride beyond the fence line on her own. But when her three brothers ride out to investigate the mysterious water troubles plaguing Circle C Ranch - and never come back - Ollie knows she's the only one who can find them. Her Ma is fading fast. A shady land company is circling the ranch like a vulture. And strange glowing black mushrooms keep turning up in places they shouldn't.

Following a trail of impossible clues deep beneath the West Texas scrubland, Ollie stumbles into a secret underground world - the Kingdom of Fungolia - stranger, funnier, and more dangerous than anything she ever dreamed up. She'll need her wits, her lasso, and more courage than she thought she had to rescue her brothers and save everything her family has left.

And maybe - just maybe - uncover the truth about her missing Pa.
