The herons shrank from him.
The marsh swirled around him.
But even a crocodile can’t float forever...
Starting Saturday, July 5, meet Big Al: the gluttonous king of Stinkwater Marsh.
He’s big. He’s bad. He might belch feathers…or fur…after a snack.
But the swamp is changing and Big Al’s reign is about to end.
📖 What is The Stinkwater Escapee?
A brand-new serial adventure for middle years readers (ages 9–13) — and the grownups who love them.
Think:
Reverse climate fiction 🌎
A swampy antihero with teeth 🐊
A world on the brink of something big (and weird) 🌀
A city that doesn’t know what’s coming
This is the first tale to crawl out of A Garden of Galaxies, a rotating story garden for sharp minds, soft hearts, and curious creatures.
