<h3>Synopsis</h3> A charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope that traces a widow's unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.&nbsp; <h3>About the Author</h3> Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

I was standing in front of all the books at Sam’s, trying to decide what to read, when a woman came up to me and suggested this book.  I thought sure, I’ll give it a shot!  You will not be disappointed!, This was a heart warming book, mix of mystery, anger, helplessness and so much more.  Fun read, you will not want to put it down.  So many parts in this book I could relate too.. Please, don’t pass this book by.. You will enjoy getting to know Tova and Marcellus the octopus.  Great book and look forward to more from this author

What a Surprise!!

Enjoyable

After reading rave reviews on Audible, I gave it a shot! Boy, was my family  intrigued during our commute; I was barred from listening to it without them. 

At first you may ask yourself “where's this book going?” I promise- you will enjoy if not love this book. Book is heartwarming on multiple levels.
