June book - Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

NOTE: I had to change this to the last Friday of the month because I may not be available the prior week.

Please join us for a discussion of this month's book. We will meet at McAllister's Deli in the glass room on the right side of the dining area once you enter the restaurant. The restaurant asks that members make some kind of purchase for the use of the room - even just a beverage. Most people grab a bite to eat while we chat about the book.

As a reminder, PLEASE try to keep your RSVP updated as best as possible.

From Amazon:
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over 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 lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable 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.
