The Slugs of Dale Cannon

Rystole Whitlock, a young rancher and colonists on the Earth-like planet of Dale Cannon, spends his days cutting class and herding buffcows. When a group of alien slugs invade his family's cabin he can't find a good way to corral them before the toxic slugs put his mother in a comma. Determined to save his mom, and the rest of the colony, Rystole won't stop until he gets revenge or a cure. If you enjoy exploring alien worlds and first contact stories with young heroes then you'll enjoy Slugs of Dale Cannon.
