“Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt

One of the main characters of this novel is an octopus, so the food theme is a Picnic at the Beach. No octopus dip, please!

Come enjoy the food and fun and hear what’s going on with NCJW! Reading the book is encouraged but not required.About the book: An Amazon Best Book of May 2022: What does a misanthropic octopus have in common with Tova, a widowed aquarium employee? Not much, until a friendship develops following a daring tank rescue, and Marcellus McSquiddles happily uses all eight of his tentacles, his three hearts, plus his sharp brain, to solve the soul-scarring mystery of Tova’s son Erik’s disappearance thirty years ago. Utterly original, funny, wise, and heartwarming (be warned: there’ll be tears as well as giggles), Remarkably Bright Creatures will have readers falling hard for an acerbic invertebrate whose intervention in his new friend’s life sets her up for healing lessons in love, loss, and family. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor
