    About this ebook

    Have you ever seen the Great Pacific Northwest Giant Luminescent Freshwater Squid? Few have. In fact only four young children have ever laid eyes on such a creature, and boy do they have a whopper of a story to tell. So if you enjoy whopper-esque stories, you’ve come to the right place. Four unusual kids in an unusual town seek out a local legend determined to get photographic proof of its existence. What they stumble upon will change the strange little town forever, and will open the door to much larger mystery that goes to the very towns roots.

    Before reading, it is recommended that you take everything you know that is normal, standard, average and scientifically sound and toss it out the window. That way
    of thinking will only frustrate and confuse you.

    It is also highly recommended that you read in the voice of John Cleese, a famous British actor. This will make the story much more enjoyable and clever sounding. (If you really needed me to explain who John Cleese was, shame on you!)

    And finally it is very highly recommended that you enjoy the story. Because if you don’t then all this would be for nothing and we will all end up looking like fools. (but mostly me)

    Now, get into your favorite chair, brew up your favorite tea and hold all your questions until after the story has finished. Cheers!
