SUMMARY:LOC National Book Festival - Shelby Van Pelt
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nTova 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.\n\nEver 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.\n\nShelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.\n\n\nAlso available on Facebook and Youtube.\n\nExplore the 2023 Library of Congress National Book Festival Virtual Author Talks \n\n\n\nAbout Shelby van Pelt\nShelby Van Pelt’s debut novel\, REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES\, will be published by Ecco/HarperCollins (US) and Bloomsbury (UK) in Spring 2022. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest\, she’s now missing the mountains in the Chicago area with her husband and children.
