SUMMARY:Book Discussion: "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt
DESCRIPTION: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. As she works\, 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 an unlikely friendship with Tova. Ever the detective\, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared.\n\nAs his affection for Tova grows\, Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late. Charming\, compulsively readable\, and full of wit\, Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a beautiful exploration of friendship\, reckoning\, and hope—a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible. --Provided by the Library Catalog\n\nFind the ebook and eaudiobook here.
