My Friend the Octopus: from the author of Darwin's Dragons

Product Information

Overall, this is an Amazing read that I cannot believe I haven't heard more off because it is just so brilliant. In a later shark attack, she shows an incredibly improved creativity to survive, including sticking on the shark's back.

The adults are just as good, and I especially loved Mrs Heap, Temitayo’s governess, who would much rather scoff cake and gossip than keep an eye on her charge.He started to document his experiences and, in time, met a curious young octopus that captured his attention. Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! In 2018, Craig Foster began free-diving in a cold underwater kelp forest at a remote location in False Bay, near Cape Town, South Africa.

Forced now to surface for breath, she lives in sight of the chillier Sussex sea with her husband and two sons.From the bestselling author of Darwin's Dragons comes a high-stakes aquatic adventure, perfect for fans of The Murderer's Ape!

Her friendships with Charlie and Temitayo are beautifully developed and each character has a fully developed personality and ‘story’ of their own. By the time the pandemic hit this year, my new book Darwin’s Dragons was already finished, printed and . She soon realises she can communicate with the octopus through colour and - as a gripping mystery begins to unfold - discovers what true courage really means . Set in Victorian times and told through a twisty mystery story, the book touches on victorian working conditions, child labor and gender norms. I had wanted to read this book over the summer but didn’t manage the time so was thrilled to see it as part of my Longlisting books for the Sparks!We see Ghost as a feeling, thoughtful creature and I – like the characters in the book – became very attached to this amazing animal. As with Darwin’s Dragons, the cover and inside flaps by Gordy Wright, are worth a mention and are works of art in their own right. It was both sad at times and heart-warming, and Imogen Church's narration of the audiobook was fabulous.
