Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkedly Bright Creatures is a charming book that holds appeal to all ages, as told by the truly unique perspective of a Giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus, whose insightful observations guide a lonely septuagenarian and a kindhearted but misguided young man to discover the meaning of family, community, and hope in a story that will touch your heart and put a smile on the face. The book has been featured as a Today Show #Read with Jenna Book Club Pick and as a 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee in both the fiction and debut novel of the year categories.
