Take a dive into the heartwarming, witty, and unforgettable, "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt, this year's Sno-Isle Reads Together pick!

🐙 After her husband dies, Tova Sullivan takes a job at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, where she befriends Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus with an extraordinary secret. As their unlikely friendship grows, Marcellus sets out to help his new friend uncover long-buried answers. This charming and compulsively readable novel is a beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope—a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
