 ;is a luminous debut novel about a widow&rsquo\;s unlikely friendship with
  a giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium&mdash\
 ;and the truths she finally uncovers about her son&rsquo\;s disappearance 
 30 years ago.</p>\n<p>After Tova Sullivan&rsquo\;s husband died\, she bega
 n working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium\, mopping floors and 
 tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope\, which she&rsquo\;s b
 een doing since her eighteen-year-old son\, Erik\, mysteriously vanished o
 n a boat in the Puget Sound over 30 years ago.</p>\n<p>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&rsquo\;t dream of lifting one of his eight tentacles for his human
  captors&mdash\;until he forms an unlikely friendship with Tova.</p>\n<p>E
 ver the detective\, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova&rsquo\;
 s son disappeared. As his affection for Tova grows\, Marcellus must use ev
 ery trick his old\, invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for 
 her before it&rsquo\;s too late.</p>\n<p>Charming\, compulsively readable\
 , and full of wit\, Shelby Van Pelt&rsquo\;s debut novel is a beautiful ex
 ploration of friendship\, reckoning\, and hope&ndash\;a reminder that some

 elt impossible. Register now for a conversation you just don't want to mis
