Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she\u2019s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn\u2019t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors\u2014until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.<\/p>\n<p>Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova\u2019s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>Shelby Van Pelt\u2019s debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.<\/p>\n<p><b>Price:<\/b> <span style=\"color:#b12704\">$0.00<\/span><br \/><i><small>(as of Feb 19, 2025 06:42:47 UTC &#8211; <span class=\"wp_automatic_amazon_disclaimer\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
