Big Al has escaped the swamp. Ankerton isn’t ready for him.
A middle-grade adventure, a media literacy project, and the first print collection of the ongoing serialized novel.

What is The Stinkwater Escapee?
The Stinkwater Escapee follows Big Al, a crocodile who hitches a ride out of his swamp only to discover that human beings may be stranger and more confusing than anything he encountered in the marsh.
The project includes:
- a Season 1 chapbook of Chapters 1-8
- a serialized middle-grade novel
- the companion podcast Mudwater Mutters
- classroom and media-literacy resources
- community events and public readings
