 ying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been do
 ing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat
  in the Puget Sound over 30 years ago.As she works, Tova becomes acquainte
 d with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquar

  a beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope-a reminder tha
 t sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that 
 once felt impossible.August's book will be Dungeon Crawler Carl, with
  a discussion led by Media Services Librarian Jesse Keljo.
