Feel no need to read the entire post. It is just here for perusal and comment if you want a quick read. So, I think I've settled on a name. Also looking forward to spending the next week of vacation making a plan for all the ancillary materials that need to be written. The first draft of the book is complete with the final Chapters attached. I will be adding Facebook discussions, journal entries, legal documents, meeting notes, historic documents, and video transcripts in the coming year.
Quick summary: Hunter is a 5th grade boy with a stutter. In an effort to gain confidence and friends, he (along with the class turtle) begin looking for the village monster. In these chapters he meets a new friend whose father is a YouTuber. They begin making videos and things quickly get out of hand.

I really like the imagery of giant slugs invading village after village. This story has a "boy who cried wolf" (but reversed) vibe. Made some suggestions on the doc.
