Who knew that there are rainforests right here in the UK? The Wildlifers’ wits are tested when they try to catch a green-fingered thief in Borrowdale Rainforest. Someone has been stealing lichen, a strange plant life form that’s made of fungus and algae, and is essential for forest life. While the gang are solving the puzzle, they meet a local, Cuckoo.
