Physical/Audiobook (Libby) - Interesting story with a hilarious giant pacific octopus (GPO). With the sudden unexplainable death of her son 30 years ago, Terry has been left in this limbo. After her husband’s passing due to cancer, she starts cleaning the local aquarium and builds a friendship with the GPO whose been sneaking out of his enclosure into others for snacks and around the aquarium for human leftovers. Cameron ends up working at the same aquarium while in town looking for his father he’s never met and takes over Terry’s nightly cleaning while she’s out for an ankle injury. The man he thought was his dad turned out to be incorrect, but that does lead him back to Terry who turns out to be his grandmother thanks to the medaling of Marcelous the GPO.
