Reclusive. Elusive. The Palouse Earthworm
It's big and it smells funny. It can grow up to 3 feet long, and it lives in North American. I remember reading about the Palouse worm when studying worms while writing the story of Winnie Finn. Very few people have ever seen one. They may become the first earthworm to make the endangered species list.
Read all about it.
"The story presents such a winning heroine, Winnie, part-scientist, part-entrepreneur, that you may consider raising worms as a hobby." --Chicago Tribune
