I recently read a book, “Remarkably Bright Creatures”, a novel by Shelby Van Pelt. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was fascinated by the octopus in a documentary I watched on Netflix called “My Octopus Teacher.”

To my surprise the book was a beautiful fantastic surprise and one of the best I have read this year. Here is a summery of the book…..

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at an Aquarium. That helped her cope with her loses, especially that of her eighteen-year-old son who 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. Of course he can’t talk to her, but finds ways to communicate.

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.

I like your tag line. Although I pray that normal WILL put in at least a cameo appearance in the near future. :-)
