Beautiful!  The voice of Marcellus the octopus is so fresh and unique and all other characters are "real".  Tova's strength is inspiring and Cameron's humour is fun.  The mystery is expertly paced and the ending is satisfying.  Please read this remarkable book.

I loved this book. I finished it in 3 sittings. You will love the characters, the story, the unique perspectives. Perfect for aquarium lovers & those whose favorite trope is found family.
