Myco Storm: The Silent Spread

Deep in the Amazon rainforest, twelve-year-old Isabella Ruiz discovers a strange glowing fungus with an extraordinary ability: it can eat plastic. At first, the discovery appears to offer an incredible solution to one of the world’s biggest environmental problems. Scientists imagine cleaner oceans, healthier forests and shrinking landfills.

But the discovery soon takes a dangerous turn.

When the fungus spreads beyond the laboratory, it begins consuming plastic everywhere. Toys melt, playground equipment dissolves and everyday objects start disappearing. As cities panic and governments declare emergencies, scientists race to understand the organism they have created.

Isabella finds herself at the centre of the crisis. Working alongside a team of scientists, she must uncover the fungus’s hidden patterns, identify its weaknesses and find the natural solution that could stop the spreading Myco Storm before it becomes unstoppable.

Designed for readers aged 13–17, the book combines science-fiction, mystery and environmental adventure while introducing fascinating ideas about fungi, enzymes, ecosystems and responsible scientific innovation.
