This book was a delightful, hopeful, engaging story complete with loveable characters, including a sentient octopus named Marcellus. He's the best, and I love him. 

I figured out the ending pretty quickly, but that didn't detract from the fun of waiting to see how the author would get us there. 

It's a wholesome and quiet story by the sea in the Pacific Northwest. I enjoyed it!
