This month we will be reading "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt

This title is available as an e-book and e-audiobook on Hoopla with your WTML library card.

After Tova‘s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son mysteriously vanished at sea thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of helping his human captors--until he forms a friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late.
