Extremely Intelligent Creatures — Film Edition
After her husband's death, Tova Sullivan begins working nights cleaning the Sowell Bay Aquarium.
Staying busy has long been her secret for coping with the pain since her 18-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously disappeared from a boat more than thirty years ago.
As she works, Tova draws close to the grumpy Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living in the aquarium. Marcellus is far more intelligent than people think and, as a matter of principle, would never lift even one of his eight tentacles to help his human captors—until he forms an extraordinary friendship with Tova, of course.
Being as intelligent as he is, Marcellus knows what happened on the night Tova's son disappeared. And now he must use every trick his invertebrate body allows to reveal the truth to her before it is too late.
Extremely Intelligent Creatures, Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel, is a remarkable journey through friendship, compassion, and hope, proving that a courageous look at the past can pave the way for an unthinkable future.
